Minutes to Prepare: 10

Minutes to Cook: 25

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 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 calzone 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 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.

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

This recipe works just fine in the oven but gains a little flavor from the grill. Follow the instructions and substitute "oven" everywhere it says "grill". Using a stone in the oven will give your crust more crunch without being tough, but a cookie sheet works okay too if you don't have a stone. - 7/10/14

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

The calorie count here is way off. Trader Joe's whole wheat pizza crust contains 8 servings, not 4. Each serving contains 120 calories - if you divide the recipe by 4 servings, you're getting 240 calories from the crust alone. Check the breakdown by ingredient on the recipe and you'll see. - 1/24/15

As for the pictures, I agree -- SP should show their version of the recipe the way it is made here. If I make a recipe, I try to take a picture and post it so others can see what it really is like. - 7/20/13

There are 'low carb' pizza dough recipes which are very tasty. I have one made mostly of cauliflower which s very good. One from flax seed meal, and yet another made from almond meal. I think that is the one that I am going to try first with this recipe. Google 'low carb pizza dough recipes'. - 7/6/15

I'm definitely going to try this, but without the cottage cheese. I never could stand the stuff. The ricotta sounds like a great idea. - 9/14/14

You can buy dry curd cottage cheese (rather than draining). Dry curd also usually no sodium added to it.
I think ricotta cheese would make a nicer calzone though. I might try this with my homemade, no-grain, low carb pizza dough. - 8/29/13

What's a baking stone and where do I purchase one? Is it meant to be used on the barbeque? Can I use a baking pan in place of it? - 7/20/13

I did not have cheese so I used roughly mashed curried chickpeas for the vegetarians and minced pork for the non-vegetarians......it was a hit with both groups. I used an oven instead since I don't have a grill, and it turned out okay - 4/22/20
