Broccoli Calzones

These are little turnovers baked with a filling of broccoli and cheese. Serve them as appetizers or snacks. If you use frozen spinach instead of broccoli, be sure to thaw it completely and then squeeze all of the moisture out of it.

INGREDIENTS | SERVES 4

  • 16 frozen dinner rolls, unbaked dough
  • 2 cups chopped cooked broccoli
  • ¼ cup diced ham
  • 1 cup grated Cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  1. Spray a sheet of plastic wrap with vegetable oil. Lay the frozen dinner roll dough out on a plastic-lined baking sheet and cover with the plastic wrap. Let thaw in the refrigerator overnight.

  2. Mix the broccoli, ham, and cheeses together in a bowl. Press each roll flat and put a spoonful of the broccoli mixture in the center of each one.

  3. Fold each dough circle in half over the filling and press down to make a half-circle. Use a fork to crimp the edges.

  4. Preheat the oven to 375°F.

  5. Bake the calzones for 15 to 20 minutes and serve warm.
