Slimming World Ham & Mushroom Pizza Calzone Recipe

by

As much as I love cooking, there are some nights when I absolutely just can’t be bothered.

For these kind of evenings, it’s always wise to have a couple of recipes up your sleeve that are fuss free, can be made from ingredients that you’ve probably already got in your fridge, and can be on the table in hardly any time at all.

IS THIS RECIPE REALLY SLIMMING FRIENDLY?!

Yes! Coming in at just 240 calories, this slimming friendly pizza calzone is also a great option if you’re a calorie counter.

MIXING AND MATCHING YOUR PIZZA CALZONE FILLINGS

Ham and mushroom is my favourite calzone filling, but you can get creative as you like. This kind of recipe is a great opportunity to get in some more speed foods, and use up anything that you might have in your fridge.

You could try peppers, pulled chicken, tuna, olives, fresh tomatoes, or anything else you might fancy.

You’ll notice that I’ve used light mozzarella cheese, and the main reason for this is that I find it’s less greasy when melted than some alternatives, so the wrap stays nice and crispy once cooked. Of course though, you can experiment with your favourite cheese if you’d prefer.

SERVING YOUR PIZZA CALZONE

This pizza calzone makes a filling meal, so you might find that it’s enough to serve it with a leafy salad.

If you’re really feeling hungry though, you could cook up some slimming chips as a side dish.

These calzones are quick, easy, and surprisingly filling. A great option after a long day at work!
