Spinach Cheese Swirls (4-21-2015)

Mom's Tips

April 21st, 2015 by Jim Field

  • 1 tube (10 oz.) refrigerated pizza crust
  • 1 package (10 oz.) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
  • 2 cups (8 oz.) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 garlic clove, minced

On a lightly floured surface, roll pizza dough into a 14″ x 10″ rectangle.  In a large bowl, combine the spinach, cheese, onion and garlic; spoon over dough to within 1 inch of edges.  Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; tuck ends under and pinch seam to seal.

Place seam side down on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray.  Bake at 400 degrees for 25-27 minutes or until golden brown.  Cut into slices.  YIELD:  4 servings.

*These super-easy sandwiches are brimming with spinach and onion flavor.  Using refrigerated pizza dough shaves minutes off prep time and creates a golden brown crust.  You can enjoy them warm or cold.
