Ingredients

1 cup chopped sweet onion
1/2 cup chopped sweet red pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh mushrooms
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup chopped fresh spinach
2 teaspoons each shredded Swiss, mozzarella and Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon minced chives
1 teaspoon minced fresh basil or 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh dill or 1/8 teaspoon dill weed
Salt and pepper to taste

Fold dough over filling; pinch edged to seal.
Place on a greased baking sheet. Place a fresh dill sprig on each if desired. Beat egg yolk and brush over tops. Bake at 375° for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown. Yield: 2 servings.
