Thursday, I saw a recipe on Pinterest for chicken, spinach and goat cheese quesadillas. I hate goat cheese. So this is clearly not something I would make, however, the picture looks amazing. I decided to re-vamp and Italian-ize this recipe.
Something about the picture reminded me of a spinach and cheese calzone....but grilled. This excited me, so here's what I threw together. AND...I must say....BEYOND AMAZING!!!
Ingredients:
6 small flour tortillas
1 c. ricotta, drained of liquid
1/2 c. grated parm
1/2 c. shredded mozzarella
A pinch of oregano.....no more.
Parsley
salt and pepper
1 package of spinach (frozen or fresh)
Directions:
Heat a grill pan or a nonstick saute pan, over medium heat.
If using frozen spinach, squeeze liquid out and drain.
Mix together 3 cheeses with herbs, salt and pepper, to taste. Allow the mixture to come to room temperature.
Lightly toast one side of the tortilla, and move to the side.
Add about 1/3 c. of cheese mixture to the toasted side of the tortilla, top with spinach and fold over to form a half moon.
Lower heat on pan, and add calzones back, toast on each side until golden brown and cheese is melty.
Allow to cheese to cool before eating.
