This rustic double-cheese and prosciutto calzone is a satisfying twist on a classic Italian favourite. By using a blend of creamy goat’s cheese and bubbling mozzarella, you achieve a sophisticated depth of flavour that pairs perfectly with the salty notes of the cured ham and fresh thyme. It is an excellent choice for a quick midweek meal that doesn't compromise on taste, offering a golden, crispy crust that encases a rich and savoury gooey centre.

As a high-protein option, this dish is particularly filling and works well as a post-workout recovery meal or a substantial family supper. Serve it alongside a crisp green salad or some roasted Mediterranean vegetables to balance the richness of the cheese. Using shop-bought dough makes this recipe incredibly accessible, allowing you to enjoy a homemade deli-style lunch or dinner with minimal preparation time.
