Spinach and Feta-Stuffed Focaccia
This calzone-like roll mixes fresh spinach with cheese, raisins, and pine nuts—a flavor combination reminiscent of the Mediterranean.

Have made several times. I use Pillsbury's pizza crust. Unique flavors; to give it an edge, use high quality feta. I'd like to try this prep with some different fillings; kind of like a calzone. The spinach does make it a tad soggy for leftovers.
Made exactly as the recipe called for. Husband felt the raisins were a little overpowering, and suggested leaving them out next time and using mushrooms instead. He still loved it and the raisins certainly didn't keep him from eating 2 pieces.
I substitueted orange cherry tomatoes for the raisins. I also used half kale and half spinach. I also rolled whole wheat dough with cornmeal (very farmhouse feel). My famiily asked for more and we ate it all! There was none left. I will definitely make it again. I might add artichokes. :)
Very good--nice, tasty lo-cal option!
This was delicious and very easy to put together. Love the combination of pine nuts and golden raisins. Thought two bags of spnach would be too much but it wasn't. Didn't change anything in the recipe. A definite repeat.
WOW, this was unbelievably GOOD!! We ended up doubling the recipe for our family of 5 and doubling the fetta cheese as we didn't want the fetta to go to waste ;) It was just perfect combination of flavors, a bit sweet but WONDERFUL! Never have I thought spinach would taste so good!!
First recipe I'm reviewing on this site because it WAS that good. LOVE IT! Although, I didn't do raisins, and substituted sunflower seeds for pine nuts (too expensive for me!).
i made exactly except used goat cheese. was wonderful and EASY....
I really liked the idea of this recipe, but wanted to build off ingredients I had at home, so filled it instead with pizza sauce, pepperoni, spinach, mushrooms, fresh mozzarella, and cheddar cheese. I also topped it with not only some grated parmesan, but also a healthy sprinkling of garlic powder. It turned out great, and my husband loved it. (http://happytrailstastymeals.blogspot.com)
This just didn't float our boats, and it's seldom I can complain about a CL recipe...I won't make this again.
Really like this recipe - good for when I want pizza but am craving something sweet as well. I make a whole wheat dough which adds to the sweetness and makes it nice and chewy!
We love this recipe. We use dough from the bread machine instead of buying dough. We make it frequently. Often we will substitute pecans for the pine nuts and craisins for the raisins. However, we love it as presented as well.
Love this recipe...the saltiness of the feta, sweetness of the raisins, spice of the red pepper and crunch of the pinenuts all go together so well.
After watching the video, I decided to try this recipe on a week night. We were happy with the result. DO plan to serve a salad alongside this. 1/6th is a small portion. I took the leftovers for lunch the next day.
Very good. The filling was different and really tasty - a nice mix of sweet and savory. I served it with a green salad dressed with a vinaigrette. This made a great weeknight dinner, but I could also see serving it as an appetizer for guests. I make it as written except used reduced fat french feta, my own pizza dough and left out the red pepper. I also put half the parmesan inside since the microplane grater I use makes the cheese so fluffy half of it was was plenty for the outside.
This was pretty good, but all of the flavors are so strong you only want a little bit. I served it as a side dish for roasted chicken, but in the future I would use it as an appetizer with small portions instead.
