30 minSometimes you just want a hot, handheld pocket of cheesy vegetables, and this calzone delivers exactly that.
Pizza dough gets rolled out, spread with cheddar cheese sauce, and loaded with stir-fried onions, peppers, carrots, zucchini, mushrooms, and broccoli. Fold it over, crimp the edges, prick the top, and bake until the crust turns golden and flaky.
It’s a single-serving calzone that comes together in 30 minutes, making it a solid option for a quick vegetarian lunch or solo dinner.
Kitchen Tips
- Stir-fry the vegetables until just tender before filling. Raw veggies will release moisture inside the calzone and make the dough soggy
- Leave a half-inch border when spreading the cheese sauce so it doesn’t leak out the edges during baking
- Prick the top generously with a fork to let steam escape. This keeps the crust crisp instead of steamy
Variations
- Swap the cheddar sauce for marinara and mozzarella for an Italian-style version
- Add cooked chicken or sausage if you want protein
- Try spinach and ricotta for a classic calzone filling
