Breakfast Calzones!

Amy went to Williams Sonoma the other day and snagged a calzone thingy. I don't know what it is called. You use it to make Calzones, of course. Maybe it is a calzone maker. Whatever it is, she made some damn fine calzones. She also made some extra dough, bless her heart, so the next day I made breakfast calzones
Having made one (count it, one) breakfast calzone, I am now ready to dispense advice on the subject.
1. Roll out the dough.
Amy and I shared the breakfast calzone that is pictured here. There was dough for two. I have only made one breakfast calzone. Why? Because the first was a horrible failure. I rolled the dough to thin, especially in the middle, and it broke, hemorrhaging scrambled eggs all over. It was gruesome.

2. Filling - I fried up some onions and mushrooms with some chopped bacon to mix in with my scrambled eggs. I try to put the whole breakfast in there, because to me the calzone is supposed to a one stop meal. Thus, bacon is mixed into the eggs. Throw some cheese on there also. I don't put raw ingredients in here. I think it only gets hot enough to melt cheese.
3. Cook it. I guess I cooked it at about 500 degrees on a pizza stone for 11 minutes. My only complaint is the difference in texture between the part that was on the stone had a different texture than the part that was up in the air. I may try turning the calzone next time.
4. Eat it. I guess that's a Weird Al reference. This was quite tasty. I covered it in salsa and enjoyed. With this, you could probably make them the day before, coat them in olive oil and bake them the next morning.

Photo note - the picture is a bit blurry because of the steamy goodness coming out of it, not because I didn't focus right.
