Number of Servings: 4

Ingredients

    2 red peppers, thinly sliced
    1 large onion, thinly sliced
    2 cloves garlic, sliced in half
    4 canned artichoke hearts, rinsed and quartered
    3/4 cup Daisy Brand 2% cottage cheese, drained*
    1/2 cup chopped parsley or basil
    8 ounces (1/2 pound) whole-wheat pizza dough

    *To drain the cottage cheese, place it in a coffee filter and allow the liquid to drain off before using in your calzon recipe.

Tips

Use any combination of veggies from your garden or the farmers market: eggplant, peppers, tomatoes, spinach... the possibilities are endless.
No grill pan? Use a foil packet instead.


Directions

Preheat the grill to 375 degrees. Place a grill pan prepped with nonstick spray on the grill. Add the peppers, onion and garlic, and cook for 15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, combine the Daisy Brand cottage cheese and herbs in a small bowl.

Raise the temperature of the grill to 400 degrees.

Divide the dough into four parts, and spread each piece on a cool baking stone. Divide the grilled vegetables among the four pieces of dough, then add the artichokes. (Note: Be sure to place the filling in the middle of the dough.)

Top with 2 tablespoons of the cottage cheese mixture. Fold over the dough and seal the seams with a fork.

Mist the top of the dough with nonstick spray. Transfer the baking stone to the grill, cover and bake for 20 minutes, or the calzones are golden brown on top.

Serve warm with your favorite tomato sauce.

Serving Size: Makes 4 calzones.

    At least 90% of most people judge a recipe by the picture first. Too bad a majority of the recipes on Spark People do not reflect the ingredients. I see cheese oozing out and meat in another Calzone pictured above. Perhaps making & picturing the actual ingredients will be better. - 7/20/12

    Oh, yumm! Using a loaf of frozen bread dough (more economical) or fresh dough from the bakery (fresher) makes this a simple, simple, unique and totally delicious treat. Meat-eaters can saute up some diced chicken with the veggies (or use a drained can). I'd add spinach, perhaps, instead of artichoke - 7/20/12

    I'm gonna try this, but I think I will use ricotta instead of cottage cheese. I can't handle cooked cottage cheese. - 7/20/12

  • Made these tonight. They were very good! I am new to this type of grilling and have learned from this first experience! It took me a long time to get 1/4 of the dough to spread out enough, but after all is said and done. The onion, red pepper, and artichoke combination was a good choice. - 7/24/12

  • Made it this past weekend. Obviously mine was not as 'perfect looking' as the picture. It was delicious &i will try it again. The "cheese melting" as shown does not happen w/cottage cheese. dough was a bit thin have to try rolling it out maybe. - 7/23/12

  • Thanks Chef Meg!! I can just look at this recipe & tell it's gonna be scrumptious. Does this have to have a baking stone, or will heavy duty foil work? - 7/20/12
