Greek Inspired Four Cheese Calzones

Originally posted by Toast

I opened up the flyer looking for my inspiration and not two pages in was a giant spread of cheese on sale. Featured prominently in the display was one of my favorite somewhat different cheeses, Mizithra. For those who haven't had it it's a tangy salty greek goat's milk cheese. Flakier and more pungent than feta it is a really different sort of taste.

Somehow wanting to do something greek turned into something more mediteranean which then turned into something cross cuisine and here we are.

Unfortunately due to the rules and the fact that I couldn't find eggplant or spinach on sale anywhere it became a bit less greek that I'd originally planned, but the flavour was definitely still distinctly greek. I decided to go with several larger calzones but you could just as easily make 6 more individual lunch sized ones.
