Easy Peasy Lemon Squeazy

My title is a direct quote from one of my preschool girls. She said her brother says that ALL the time. Kind of catchy, huh?

Last night I made a recipe that was in a pampered chef magazine, and we really liked it. It's a type of calzone, and I almost put spaghetti sauce with it. I'm glad I didn't because the flavors were so good, and it would have been masked by a sauce.

HAM AND CHEESE CALZONE
(10 x 15 pan 450* oven)
2 Tbsp mayo
2 tsp Dijon mustard
1 cup fresh broccoli florets
8 oz deli ham (about 1/2" thick piece) cubed
1/2 small onion chopped
8 slices Swiss cheese (could use grated)
2 (10-13 oz) tubes of refrigerated pizza crust
olive oil
1 oz Parmesan cheese

Line your sprayed pan with the first tube of pizza dough, press gently to fit the pan.
Combine the mayo, mustard, broccoli, ham and onion. Spoon over crust within 1" of sides then top with the Swiss cheese slices. Top with remaining pizza dough and pinch the edges all the way around to seal. Brush lightly with olive oil and use a sharp knife to make 12 slits on top for steam to escape. Bake 14-16 min till golden and sprinkle on Parmesan cheese. Bake another 2-3 min to brown slightly. Serves 8 or 4 HUNGRY people.
