Ingredients
Scale
Breakfast Stromboli
- 1 (8-ounce) can thin crust refrigerated pizza dough
- 1 pound pork breakfast sausage, cooked, crumbled, and well drained (can substitute with turkey sausage)
- 8 large eggs, soft scrambled
- 2 cups shredded Colby Jack cheese (cheddar cheese can also be used)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make handling the stromboli easier.
- Prepare the Dough Base: Open the can of refrigerated pizza dough and stretch it thinly and evenly on the prepared parchment paper, leaving a rectangular shape with even thickness.
- Add Fillings: Spread the soft scrambled eggs evenly over the dough, leaving about a 3-inch border around all edges with no eggs to facilitate rolling. Next, sprinkle the cooked and well-drained sausage evenly over the eggs. Finally, top the sausage and eggs with shredded Colby Jack cheese, reserving a few tablespoons of cheese for the top of the stromboli.
- Roll the Stromboli: Starting from one side, carefully roll the dough like a jelly roll, using the parchment paper to help you roll without tearing. Once fully rolled, slide the stromboli to the center of the parchment with the seam side down. Stretch and tuck the ends underneath to seal the filling inside.
- Slice and Top: Cut several diagonal slits into the crust to allow steam to escape during baking. Sprinkle the reserved shredded cheese over the top to create a bubbly cheesy topping.
- Bake: Place the stromboli on the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and slightly browned.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm as is, or with optional sides such as sausage gravy, salsa, or marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
- You can substitute turkey sausage for pork sausage for a leaner option.
- Feel free to use cheddar cheese instead of Colby Jack for a sharper flavor.
- Make sure the sausage is well drained to prevent soggy dough.
- Soft scramble the eggs gently to keep them tender and moist in the stromboli.
- Storage: Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and can be reheated in the oven or microwave.
- For crispier crust, bake on a preheated baking stone or pizza steel if available.
