Mini Ham and Cheese Calzones


Tonights dinner was once again taken from the Kraft Food and Family magazine, the winter 2006 issue. They were completely easy to make and turned out great! You can basically put whatever you want in them (I'm not a fan of ham). I give this recipe a 3.

Prep: 15 min. Total: 30 min.

1 can (11 oz.) refrigerated soft breadstick dough
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
12 slices Honey Ham cut in half
2 Tbsp. grated parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 400F. Unroll dough; separate into 12 breadsticks. Cut each breadstick crosswise in half; flatten dough to 2-inch width.

Spoon 1 tsp. cheese onto center of a ham piece. Fold ham piece over cheese to create a tight roll. Place ham roll near the end of a piece of breadstick dough, leaving a border. Fold dough over ham, pinching edges to seal. Repeat process for all ham pieces. Place calzones on baking sheet.
Sprinkle with parmesan cheese.

Bake 12-15 min. or until golden brown. Makes 24 servings.

This recipe is for use in making party food but I used it as a dinner with adjustments. Instead of breadstick dough, I bought the french bread refridgerated dough and cut it in half to make 2 sandwiches. I then unfolded the dough and rolled the meat and cheese into it (I used chicken breast). You could also put in some vegetables. We used different mustards to dip the sandwiches in but you could use different things like ranch dressing or Dijon Mustard.
