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 be used as an alternative)
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 pizza dough and stretch it out thin and even on the prepared parchment paper.
- Add the fillings: Spread the soft scrambled eggs evenly over the stretched dough, leaving about a 3-inch border around the edges without any eggs. Sprinkle the cooked and drained sausage evenly over the eggs. Then, sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the sausage and eggs, reserving a few tablespoons of cheese for topping.
- Roll the stromboli: Starting from one side, carefully roll the dough into a jelly-roll shape, using the parchment paper to help guide and roll it smoothly. Transfer the rolled stromboli to the center of the parchment paper with the seam side down. Stretch and tuck the ends under the stromboli to seal them. Using a sharp knife, cut several diagonal slits into the top crust and sprinkle the reserved cheese over these slits.
- Bake: Place the stromboli in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 30 minutes or until the crust turns golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
- Serve: Serve the breakfast stromboli warm. It can be enjoyed by itself or paired with accompaniments like sausage gravy, salsa, or marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
- You can substitute turkey sausage to reduce fat content.
- Soft scrambled eggs provide a creamy texture; avoid overcooking the eggs beforehand.
- Cheddar cheese can be used if Colby Jack is unavailable.
- The stromboli is best served warm fresh from the oven for optimal texture.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in an oven or toaster oven to maintain crispiness.
