Chef Carlos Gómez is a Spanish lawyer and an amateur chef who loves to put a spin on classic Spanish and Catalan dishes.


If you’re looking to elevate your oven game with a unique Mediterranean twist, the Escalivada Calzone Recipe with Scamorza Cheese is a must-try. This calzone combines the smoky, rustic flavors of escalivada—a beloved Catalan dish of roasted eggplant, red peppers, onions, tomatoes, and garlic—with the indulgent, creamy allure of Scamorza cheese.


Escalivada, a staple of Spanish cuisine, is known for its earthy, charred flavors that bring the best out of simple, fresh vegetables. Traditionally, these vegetables are slow-roasted until tender and slightly caramelized, creating a deeply satisfying base that pairs perfectly with the mild, smoky notes of Scamorza cheese, a semi-soft Italian cheese similar to mozzarella but with an added depth from its smoking process.

Encased in a crisp, golden calzone dough, this dish delivers an irresistible combination of textures: the gooey, melted cheese, the tender, smoky vegetables, and the chewy, slightly crunchy crust. It’s a beautiful marriage of Spanish and Italian culinary traditions, offering a fresh take on both the classic calzone and the vibrant flavors of Mediterranean roasted vegetables.


Perfect for a cozy dinner, a unique lunch, or even as a standout dish at a gathering, the Escalivada Calzone with Scamorza Cheese not only brings comfort and nostalgia but also showcases the versatility and creativity of combining traditional European flavors. Whether you’re already a fan of escalivada or trying it for the first time, this recipe is sure to impress with its rich, hearty, and comforting taste.
