Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 (8-ounce) can thin crust refrigerated pizza dough
Filling
- 1 pound pork breakfast sausage, cooked, crumbled, and well drained (can substitute turkey sausage)
- 8 large eggs, soft scrambled
- 2 cups shredded Colby Jack cheese (cheddar cheese can also be used)
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
- Prepare dough: Open the can of refrigerated pizza dough and carefully stretch it out thinly and evenly onto the prepared parchment paper, leaving room around the edges for rolling.
- Add filling: Spread the soft scrambled eggs evenly over the stretched dough, leaving about a 3-inch border free of eggs around the edges. Evenly sprinkle the cooked and drained breakfast sausage on top of the eggs, followed by sprinkling 1.5 cups of shredded Colby Jack cheese, reserving a few tablespoons for topping.
- Roll stromboli: Starting from one side, carefully roll the dough up like a jelly roll using the parchment paper to guide and support the roll. Place the rolled stromboli seam-side down in the center of the baking sheet. Stretch and tuck the ends underneath the roll to seal the filling inside.
- Score and top: Cut several diagonal slits on the top of the stromboli crust to allow steam to escape during baking. Sprinkle the reserved cheese over the top for a golden cheesy finish.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm on its own or with optional side dips such as sausage gravy, salsa, or marinara sauce for added flavor.
Notes
- Use turkey sausage as a leaner alternative to pork sausage.
- Cheddar cheese can substitute Colby Jack for a sharper flavor.
- Soft scramble the eggs carefully to achieve a creamy texture inside the stromboli.
- Ensure sausage is well drained to avoid soggy dough.
- Leftover stromboli can be reheated in the oven or microwave for a quick breakfast.
