Breakfast Calzones image

If you can't find nduja, a funky and spicy spreadable Italian salami, substitute torn or chopped hot soppressata or a salami with some kick.

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 (1-lb. 6-oz.) balls of pizza dough, room temperature
All-purpose flour (for surface)
6 oz. Fontina cheese, grated (about 2 cups)
1 cup whole-milk fresh ricotta
4 oz. nduja
8 large egg yolks
1 Tbsp. finely chopped rosemary
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for medium-low heat. Set cast-iron griddle on grill. (Alternatively, heat on stovetop over medium-low. And if you don't have a cast-iron griddle, use a cast-iron skillet instead and cook in batches.) Cut each piece of dough into quarters for 8 pieces total. Roll out 1 piece of dough to an 8x6" oval. Spoon a heaping 1/4 cup Fontina over half of dough and form a well in the center. Dab 2 Tbsp. ricotta and 1 Tbsp. nduja over Fontina, leaving well empty; slip a yolk into the well. Sprinkle with a bit of rosemary and drizzle with oil; season with salt. Moisten edges of dough with water, fold empty side of dough over filling and press together edges to seal. Brush with oil; sprinkle with salt. Repeat with remaining ingredients to make 7 more calzones.
  • Place calzones, oiled side down, on griddle and cook until deeply browned, pressing gently with a spatula to create contact with griddle, about 5 minutes. Brush oil on the other sides and sprinkle with salt; turn calzones over. Cook until other sides are deeply browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let sit 1 minute before cutting in half.

I followed the recipe exactly and my calzones turned out perfectly. They were golden brown and the cheese was melted and gooey.

These breakfast calzones were a bit too greasy for my taste.

I'm not a big fan of calzones, but these were actually really good. The dough was flaky and the filling was cheesy and flavorful.

These breakfast calzones are a great way to use up leftover ingredients. I had some leftover ham and cheese, and I just threw it in the filling.

The dough was a little too thick for my taste, but the filling was very flavorful.
