Ingredients

1lb Calzone Dough

2 Eggs (beaten)

Oil for frying

Filling

8oz Ricotta

4oz Ham (diced)

4oz Provolone (diced)

2 egg yolks

Fresh ground Black Pepper

Salt

Method

For the Filling - Mix the ricotta, egg yolks, ham and provolone. Add the salt and pepper to taste. Mix until thoroughly combined.

Cut the dough into 4 and roll out to 8 inch circles.

Spoon an equal amount of the filling between the four circles, spread to within 1/2 inch of edges. Brush the edges with the beaten egg and fold over.  Press firmly to seal edges so that the filling doesn't escape during frying.

Arrange on a baking tray and brush with the beaten egg.

Deep fry until golden brown.

Drain well on paper kitchen roll and serve hot.
