When there's no bread, try an egg calzone!

bowl calzone

Being a bit of a bread friend, I try to keep some on hand at all times -- fresh when possible, and always at least a few slices in the freezer. But sometimes you just run out. Usually when that happens, I'll whip up a pizza with that quick and tasty dough I posted about before. But the other day, I was in the mood for eggs, and I just don't like having them without some sort of bread.

So, I decided to make a bowl-shaped calzone you see above. It's simple. After rolling out some dough, I sprayed a french onion soup bowl with non-stick cooking spray and used it to make a bowl out of my dough. I then put in a collection of ingredients that included eggs and cheese. I joined the dough at the top to seal it in, cut off the excess, and threw it in my toaster oven. The bowl allowed me to keep the gooey eggs and ingredients together without spilling, and the spray let the nice calzone slip out of the bowl with complete ease.

This can also work in a myriad of ways -- imagine using the same technique in small muffin tins and making pizza pockets or other hors douvres pastries, or putting a whole meal inside one -- like meatloaf with a good gravy, a tuna melt, or even a sort of pizza-themed pot pie.

Too bad it's too late for a picture of the product sliced - I looooove runny yolks. Man! Now I have to go make a chicken fried steak so I can have a fried egg on top of it, maybe some hash browns with rye bread toast (I'm too lazy to make biskits).
