Breakfast Stromboli Ingredients
- 1 (8-ounce) can thin crust refrigerated pizza dough
- 1 pound pork breakfast sausage, cooked, crumbled, and well drained (turkey sausage can be used as an alternative)
- 8 large eggs, soft scrambled
- 2 cups shredded Colby Jack cheese (cheddar cheese can also be used)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Dough: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Open the can of refrigerated pizza dough and stretch it thinly and evenly over the parchment paper in a large rectangle.
- Layer Fillings: Evenly spread the soft scrambled eggs over the dough, leaving about a 3-inch border around the edges free of eggs. Sprinkle the cooked and well-drained pork sausage evenly over the eggs, then evenly distribute the shredded Colby Jack cheese over the sausage and eggs, reserving a few tablespoons for topping.
- Roll the Stromboli: Beginning from one side, carefully roll the dough over the filling like a jelly roll, using the parchment paper to assist in rolling it tightly. Position the stromboli in the center of the parchment paper with the seam side down. Stretch and tuck the ends underneath the stromboli to seal. Cut several diagonal slits into the top of the crust to allow steam to escape. Sprinkle the reserved shredded cheese over the top.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the stromboli is golden brown on the outside and the cheese is fully melted.
- Serve: Remove from oven and let cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm by itself or with your choice of sausage gravy, salsa, or marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
- Use turkey sausage as a leaner protein option.
- Cheddar cheese can substitute for Colby Jack if preferred.
- Ensure the sausage is well drained to avoid soggy dough.
- Soft scrambled eggs should be slightly undercooked before layering, as they will finish cooking in the oven.
- Diagonal slits on top allow steam to escape and prevent the dough from becoming soggy.
- Serve with dipping sauces like marinara, sausage gravy, or salsa to enhance flavor.
