How to make cheats calzone recipe

Serves 1

Preparation time 5 minutes, Cooking time 5 minutes

Ingredients:
2 small soft flour tortillas
2 teaspoons sun-dried tomato paste
1 tomato, sliced
2 bacon rashers, grilled and chopped
4 slices Milano salami, cut into strips
75 g (3 oz) mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced
a few basil leaves
4–6 baby spinach leaves
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt and pepper

Method:
Rinse one side of each tortilla with water to soften, then spread tomato paste over the dampened side and layer the tomato, bacon, salami and mozzarella on top. Add the basil leaves and spinach and a little salt and pepper.

Fold each tortilla over the filling and press the edges together (don’t worry if the edges don’t stick together in places). Brush the dry outsides of the tortillas with oil and cook in a ridged grill pan or frying pan for 1–2 minutes on each side or until golden. Cut in half and serve immediately.

For cheese & ham calzone, prepare the tortillas as above and spread with 2 teaspoons pesto instead of the tomato paste.

Layer 2 slices of ham, chopped, 50 g (2 oz) thinly sliced mushrooms and 75 g (3 oz) grated or sliced Cheddar cheese on top and season with salt and pepper. Fold over and cook the tortillas as above.
