1 (10 oz.) pkg. frozen spinach
2 eggs
1 C. ricotta cheese, about 1/2 lb.
12 to 16 oz. mozzarella cheese, cubed
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg

Spray a bread pan with Pam. Place frozen dough in the pan and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise.

Defrost frozen spinach in a med. bowl. Remove spinach to squeeze out any excess moisture. In the same bowl you used to defrost spinach, Mix together eggs with ricotta cheese, nutmeg and spinach. Stir in mozzarella.

Divide bread dough into qt.ers and roll into four 8-in. circles. Cover half of each dough circle with a qt.er of the filling, leaving a 1/2-in. border around the edge. Fold dough over the filling to form a turnover. Press edges with the tines of a fork to seal.

Spray a baking sheet with Pam and place calzones on it. Bake at 425 degrees F for 18 to 20 min., or until calzones are puffed and a deep golden brown.
