Let's put it this way. Squisito!

I tried first Panzerotti in Milan. They were not as good as this recipe, if I say so myself. However, to be fair, it was at the end of the day and they were cold, not piping hot and fresh straight from the hot oil.

Panzerotti are not to be confused with Calzone, which are very similar in shape and also basically a folded pizza, but much bigger and always baked, as opposed to fried.

I also tried them at our local food truck market one evening and they were also amazing. You can please everyone. You can be fried pizza pockets.

We do suggest using already prepared/cooked ingredients for the filling, as opposed using uncooked sausage or meats etc. Also you can use things like baby spinach or herbs that don't require a lot of heat to cook down. Pesto is great, and really any cured meats work well, so does Marinara Sauce. But you be the judge. Make them all!

We are pretty sure you will find a favourite filling. Just don't forget the cheese. It is essential!
