Lisa Tries... Mini Cheese and Olives Calzones

Recipe: Mini Cheese and Olive Calzones
From: Sandra Lee

What you need...
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1/4 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
1/4 cup chopped black olives
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Flour, for dusting (I didn't use. I am a rebel!)
1 (8-ounce) can refrigerated crescent-shaped dinner rolls



Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

In a bowl combine the cheeses, olives, and Italian seasoning.


Somehow you are supposed to make triangles out of crescent dough but I couldn't figure it out. So I made funny shapes. Place about two teaspoons of mixture into dough and shape. Also suppose to moisten the edges to close and use a fork to reinforce and make it pretty -- yeah, I didn't follow those directions either.


Place them on a baking sheet and bake for 20 mins.



Results:

Nice flakey, buttery tasting "calzone". Inside is tasty but tastes too much like olives. I think the next time I attempt this, I will add fresh basil, mozzerella cheese, and maybe like a couple of pepperoni's or something. Might even serve with some sauce for dipping pleasures.
