Description

Small pockets of dough filled with ham, onion, tomatoes, parsley, and hard-boiled eggs. These are as tasty as they are easy and impressive. They make great appetizers!

Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 small tomatoes - peeled, seeded and chopped
  • 4 ounces diced cooked ham
  • 2 hard-cooked eggs, chopped
  • 1 ½ tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 (10 ounce) can refrigerated pizza crust dough
Directions
  1. 1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions, and saute until tender. Pour in the tomatoes, and cook for a minute, then stir in the ham and heat through. Remove from the heat, and mix in the eggs and parsley. Allow to cool for at least 5 minutes.
  2. 2. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Unroll the can of pizza dough on a clean surface, and stretch or roll into a 14x10 inch rectangle. Cut into twelve 3 inch squares.
  3. 3. Place equal amounts of the filling into the centers of the squares. Brush the edges lightly with water. Fold in halves to form a triangle, pressing the edges to seal. Place on a greased cookie sheet and prick with a fork.
  4. 4. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
