For a richer flavor, use whole milk ricotta cheese. Be sure to squeeze as much moisture as possible out of the thawed spinach to prevent soggy calzones. Feel free to add other vegetables to the filling, such as sautéed mushrooms, onions, or bell peppers. Serve warm with your favorite marinara sauce for dipping. For a golden crust, brush the tops of the calzones with an egg wash before baking.

Jul 11, 2024I found that 30 minutes was a little too long for my oven, they were a bit too brown. I'll try 25 next time.
