Dinner Tonight - Mushroom Calzones

I have made calzones many different times before in many different varieties  For dinner tonight I am making mushroom calzones, a new recipe that I found in one of my cookbooks. I took the easy way out by using store bought pizza dough. If you want to make your own dough use this simple and delicious recipe: http://couponingtocooking.blogspot.com/2012/05/dinner-tonight_10.html
ENJOY!!!



2 lbs Pizza dough (double recipe)
1 medium onion diced
2 tbs oil
10 oz fresh mushrooms diced
1/4 tsp salt
black pepper to taste
1/4 tsp + dash of oregano
3 oz cream cheese
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1 scallion sliced
3/4 cup mozzarella cheese
1 egg beaten

saute onions in oil for 2 minutes. Add in mushrooms and continue to saute for 10 minutes. Season with salt pepper and 1/4 tsp oregano. In a small bowl combine cream cheese, ricotta and scallions. season with pepper and dash of oregano. Divide dough into 8 pcs. roll dough into an 8 inch circle. Smear with 1/8 of the cream cheese/ricotta mixture. sprinkle with 1/8 mozzarella cheese and top with 1/8 of mushrooms. Fold in half (like a half moon), crimp edges with a fork to seal and place on greased cookie sheet. Cut slit in center of each calzone (to vent) and brush with egg. Bake on 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
