SPINACH CHEESE SWIRLS



Spinach Cheese Swirls image

My family loves dividing up this super-easy sandwich that's brimming with great spinach and onion flavor. Refrigerated pizza dough shaves minutes off prep time and creates a golden brown crust. The cheesy slices taste terrific warm or cold, so they're great for lunches, picnics or trips. -Mary Nichols Denver, New Hampshire
