Easy Spinach & Mushroom Calazone - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 (13 ounce) package pizza dough
    10 ounces frozen chopped spinach (thawed)
    1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
    1 tablespoon minced garlic
    4 ounces cream cheese (I used 1/3 less fat variety)
    1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
    salt & pepper, for taste (to season)
    1 -2 tablespoon melted butter (for brushing on top of calazones) or 1 egg white (for brushing on top of calazones)
    1 (8 ounce) jar marinara sauce (used to dipped calazones in!)
Preparation
    Heat thawed spinach in a skillet on medium heat. Add garlic, salt, and pepper-stir together. Add cream cheese and 1/4 cup of the parmesan cheese and stir until melted. Add sliced mushrooms and cook 5 minutes more. Remove from heat and let stand.
    Grease a pizza/cookie sheet. Roll out the pizza dough from the pkg. Stretch the dough to just fit the cooking sheet. Cut the dough into 4 rectangles.
    Divide Spinach mixture into 4 portions. Drop one portion onto each pizza dough rectangle. Take one corner of the dough and pull it to the opposite corner to enclose the spinach mixture. Pinch close to form a triangle. Brush tops with either melted butter or egg white. Sprinkle tops with remaining parmesan cheese.
    Bake calazones for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 5 minutes before serving. Use marinara sauce as a side to dip your calazone in!
