Breakfast Stromboli Ingredients
- 1 (8-ounce) can thin crust refrigerated pizza dough
- 1 pound pork breakfast sausage, cooked, crumbled, and well drained (or substitute with turkey sausage)
- 8 large eggs, soft scrambled
- 2 cups shredded Colby Jack cheese (cheddar cheese works as well)
Instructions
- Preheat oven and prepare dough: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Open the can of refrigerated pizza dough and stretch it thin and even directly onto the parchment-lined sheet.
- Add filling: Spread the soft scrambled eggs evenly over the stretched dough, leaving about a 3-inch border around the edges without any eggs. Then sprinkle the cooked and drained sausage on top of the eggs, followed by a layer of shredded cheese. Reserve a few tablespoons of cheese to sprinkle on top later.
- Roll the stromboli: Starting from one side, carefully roll the dough up like a jelly roll, using the parchment paper to help guide and lift the dough. Once rolled, position the stromboli in the center of the parchment with the seam side down. Stretch and tuck the ends under the stromboli to seal in the filling. Cut several diagonal slits into the crust to allow steam to escape. Finally, sprinkle the reserved cheese on top.
- Bake: Bake the stromboli for 20 to 30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing.
- Serve: Serve warm as is or pair with your favorite dipping sauces such as sausage gravy, salsa, or marinara sauce for added flavor.
Notes
- You can substitute pork breakfast sausage with turkey sausage for a leaner option.
- Cheddar cheese can be used if Colby Jack is not available, maintaining a similar flavor profile.
- Ensure the sausage is well drained before adding to avoid soggy dough.
- Cutting slits in the crust prevents the stromboli from bursting during baking by releasing steam.
- Serve with additional condiments like sausage gravy or marinara for variety.
