Ingredients
Scale
Stromboli Dough
- 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 (or cheddar cheese)
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 out thinly and evenly on the prepared parchment paper.
- Add the Eggs: Spread the soft scrambled eggs evenly over the stretched dough, leaving about a 3-inch border around the edges free of eggs to help seal the stromboli.
- Add Sausage and Cheese: Sprinkle the cooked and drained pork sausage evenly over the eggs. Then, sprinkle 1½ cups of the shredded Colby Jack cheese over the sausage and eggs, reserving a few tablespoons of cheese for the top of the stromboli.
- Roll the Stromboli: Starting from one side, carefully roll the dough over the filling like a jelly roll, using the parchment paper to help lift and roll it smoothly. Once rolled, place the stromboli seam-side down in the center of the baking sheet. Stretch and tuck the ends under the stromboli to seal the filling inside.
- Prepare for Baking: Cut several diagonal slits into the top of the crust to vent steam during baking. Sprinkle the reserved cheese evenly over the top of the stromboli.
- Bake: Bake the stromboli in the preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and crisp. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before slicing.
- Serve: Serve the breakfast stromboli warm on its own or alongside sausage gravy, salsa, or marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
- You can substitute turkey sausage for a leaner option while maintaining great flavor.
- Ensure the sausage is well drained to avoid soggy dough.
- Use any shredded cheese you prefer, cheddar or mozzarella would work well.
- Soft scrambling the eggs prevents dryness and keeps filling moist.
- Serve with your favorite breakfast sides or sauces to enhance the dish.
