This is so fun and easy. Everyone can participate. I use it like a galette, empty the frig meal! For this I use a Pillsbury pie crust as the bread. If you’re a baker, by all means, use your favorite pie crust recipe. I made an Italian flavored calzone this time.
For the filling: Cheeses – ricotta, parmesan and mozzarella cheeses (or whatever you have on hand.) Meats – Canadian bacon and pepperoni. Vegetables – chopped scallions, mushrooms and olives. Herbs and spices – crushed red pepper, Italian seasoning and garlic. Two eggs.
Set out the pie crust and thaw to room temperature. Cut up and sauté the meat, vegetables and spices/herbs in a pan (using olive oil). Combined the cheeses with one egg. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix remaining egg in bowl.
Next, put parchment paper on a cookie sheet and unroll the pie crust. Fold the cheese and meat mixture together until combined. It should be thick, not juicy. Place on half of the pie crust, making sure to leave an inch or two around the edge. Fold the other half of the crust over and crimp edges with fork to seal. Brush with beaten egg. Bake at 450 degrees until lightly browned.
Let rest 5-10 minutes. To serve, heat a jar of prepared pizza sauce and serve on the side. Eat until you can’t eat anymore!
