Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 1 (8-ounce) can thin crust refrigerated pizza dough
Filling
- 1 pound pork breakfast sausage, cooked, crumbled, and well drained (turkey sausage can be used as a substitute)
- 8 large eggs, soft scrambled
- 2 cups shredded Colby Jack cheese (cheddar cheese can also be used)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven 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 carefully stretch it out thin and even over the parchment paper.
- Add Filling: Evenly spread the soft scrambled eggs over the dough, leaving about a 3-inch border around all edges free of egg. Next, sprinkle the cooked and drained sausage over the eggs, then scatter the shredded cheese on top, reserving a few tablespoons for later.
- Roll the Stromboli: Starting from one edge, carefully roll the dough up like a jelly roll, using the parchment paper to assist in rolling. Transfer the rolled stromboli to the center of the parchment on the baking sheet with the seam side down. Stretch and tuck the ends under the roll to seal. Cut several diagonal slits into the top crust and sprinkle the remaining cheese over the roll.
- Bake: Place the stromboli in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Remove from oven and serve warm by itself or with your choice of sausage gravy, salsa, or marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
- You can substitute turkey sausage for a leaner option.
- Cheddar cheese can be used instead of Colby Jack for a sharper flavor.
- Make sure the eggs are soft scrambled so they remain moist inside the stromboli.
- Allow the stromboli to cool slightly before slicing to maintain its shape.
- Additional fillings like sautéed peppers or onions can be added according to preference.
