Sausage and Cheese Calzones
I thought these looked really good and I was very pleased with them! The bread on them is thin, so it doesn't make you feel bloated afterwards. It's the perfect amount of food, especially if served with a salad. I found a recipe that said it fed 8, so I halved it and here's my altered recipe:
8 whole, frozen unrisen dinner rolls
1/2 Tbsp butter
1/2 medium onion, diced
1/2 lb sausage
1/4 tsp Italian seasoning
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
8 oz ricotta cheese
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
3/4 cup grated mozarella cheese
1 egg
1/4 tsp salt
black pepper, to taste
1 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1 whole beaten egg (for egg wash)
Place frozen rolls on a baking sheet and cover with a tea towel to thaw ans rise (2 hours). Melt butter in large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook onion in butter for a couple of minutes. Add sausage and brown. Add Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes. Remove from pan and allow to cool on a plate.
In a bowl, combine cheeses, egg, salt, pepper and parsley. Stir in the cooled sausage.
When rolls are thawed and risen, roll them out on a lightly floured surface until paper thin. Spoon about 4 Tbsp filling into half of the dough circle. Fold half of dough over itself and press edges to seal. Brush with beaten egg and cook at 400 degrees for 10-13 minutes, until golden brown.
You can serve with marinara sauce, but we ate them plain and they were delicious!!
