Ingredients
- 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 1/4 cup chopped shallot
- 1 (11 ounce) package baby spinach
- 2 tsp chopped fresh dill
- 2 tsp chopped fresh parsley
- 1 clove garlic, grated
- 1/4 tsp ground pepper
- 1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
- 6 tbsp crumbled feta cheese
- 1 lb prepared pizza dough, preferably whole-wheat
- 1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 475 degrees F. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add shallot and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 1 minute. Add spinach in batches and cook, stirring, until wilted, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in dill, parsley, garlic and pepper. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Transfer the spinach mixture to a large mixing bowl. Stir in ricotta and feta.
- On a lightly floured surface, cut dough into 4 equal pieces. Pat and roll each piece into a 7-inch circle. Place 1/2 cup filling on one half of each circle, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Top with 2 tablespoons mozzarella. Fold the dough over the filling and crimp the edges with a fork to seal. Cut 3 small slits in the top to vent steam; brush the calzones with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Transfer the calzones to the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the calzones until browned on top, about 15 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
