Cheese Jalapeño Calzone is a delicious and spicy vegetarian treat that features a gooey, cheesy filling complemented by the kick of jalapeños. Wrapped in a soft and golden-brown dough, this calzone is perfect for those who love a bit of heat in their meals. It makes for a fantastic snack, appetizer, or main dish, especially when served with a side of marinara or ranch dipping sauce.

Ingredients:

  • Pizza Dough:
    • 1 pound (store-bought or homemade)
  • Cheese Filling:
    • 1 cup (shredded cheese; options include mozzarella, cheddar, or a blend)
  • Jalapeños:
    • 2-3 (fresh or pickled; finely chopped)
  • Cream Cheese:
    • 1/2 cup (for a creamy texture; optional)
  • Garlic Powder:
    • 1 teaspoon
  • Onion Powder:
    • 1 teaspoon
  • Seasonings:
    • 1 teaspoon (dried oregano)
    • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Egg:
    • 1 (beaten; for egg wash)

Optional Additions:

  • Fresh Herbs:
    • 1 tablespoon (chopped cilantro or parsley for added flavor)
  • Red Pepper Flakes:
    • For extra heat (optional)

Preparation:

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Prepare the Filling:
    • In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cheese, chopped jalapeños, cream cheese (if using), garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  3. Roll Out the Dough:
    • On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into circles about 6-8 inches in diameter.
  4. Fill the Calzone:
    • Place a generous scoop of the cheese and jalapeño filling on one half of the dough circle, leaving a border around the edges. If desired, sprinkle fresh herbs on top.
  5. Seal the Calzone:
    • Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges together to seal, and crimp with a fork for extra security.
  6. Brush and Bake:
    • Place the calzones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with the beaten egg for a golden finish. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the calzones are golden brown.
  7. Serve:
    • Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or a spicy dipping sauce.

Variations:

  • Add More Spice: Incorporate diced green chilies or hot sauce into the filling for an extra kick.
  • Veggie Twist: Mix in some sautéed vegetables like bell peppers or corn for added texture and flavor.
