Spinach, Onion, & 3-Cheese Calzone Recipe - Big Green Egg
Ingredients:
1¼ lb dough (60 kg) pizza dough
10 oz (285 g) baby spinach
2 tbsp (30 ml) olive oil, plus more for brushing
1 sweet onion, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup (45 g) freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
4 oz (120 g) fresh mozzarella cheese, finely diced
1 cup (225 g) ricotta cheese
Salt and freshly ground pepper
All-purpose flour for dusting
Method
Let the dough sit at room temperature 1 to 2 hours before building the calzone.
Set the EGG for indirect cooking at 400°F/204°C.
Rinse the spinach and let drain. In a pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the sweet onion and cook until translucent, then add the garlic and cook about 1 minute. Add the spinach, cover and cook until tender. Drain the spinach mixture in a colander, pressing gently to remove excess liquid; transfer to a bowl, add the cheeses and mix well. Season with salt and pepper.
Roll out the dough on a Dough Rolling Mat and use the Calzone Press to cut out the dough circles and form calzones. Place the calzones on a preheated Pizza/Baking Stone and bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack for 10 minutes. Serve warm.

Big Green Egg Pizza / Baking Stone
The Big Green Egg Pizza & Baking Stone is a versatile piece of cookware for baking a variety of recipes from pizzas to breads to desserts. The stone distributes heat for even baking and browning and the ceramics pull moisture from the outer surface of the dough for brick oven crustiness. The Pizza/Baking Stone retains heat, so your foods stay hot longer.
