Ham and Chile-Cheddar Calzones Recipe

Preheat a large baking sheet in a 500 degrees F oven for 10 minutes and carefully spray it with oil.

Meanwhile, on a lightly floured work surface, roll or stretch each ball of dough into a 9-inch round.

In a medium bowl, combine the chiles, 1¾ cups of the cheddar, the pimientos, a pinch of salt, and ¼ teaspoon of pepper; mash to a coarse paste with a fork.

Arrange the ham on the bottom half of each dough round. Top with the arugula and season lightly with salt and pepper.

Spread the chile-cheddar mixture over the arugula to within ½ inch of the edge, pressing it slightly to compact.

Fold the top half of the dough over the filling, pressing to release any trapped air; pinch the edges to seal.

Transfer the calzones to the prepared baking sheet.

Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup of cheddar on top and bake for 8 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
