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 with turkey sausage)
- 8 large eggs, soft scrambled
- 2 cups shredded Colby Jack cheese (cheddar cheese works as a substitute)
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 pizza dough can and stretch the dough thinly and evenly over the parchment paper.
- Add Filling Layers: Spread the soft scrambled eggs over the dough, leaving about a 3-inch border around the edges without any egg. Evenly sprinkle the cooked and drained sausage over the eggs, then add the shredded cheese on top, reserving a few tablespoons of cheese for later.
- Roll the Stromboli: Starting from one side, carefully roll the dough like a jelly roll, using the parchment paper to help lift and roll it smoothly. Move the rolled stromboli to the center of the parchment so the seam is underneath. Stretch and tuck the ends under the stromboli to seal them. Cut several diagonal slits into the crust for ventilation and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
- Bake: Place the stromboli in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 30 minutes until the crust is golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm by itself or with accompaniments like sausage gravy, salsa, or marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
- You can substitute pork breakfast sausage with turkey sausage for a leaner option.
- Cheddar cheese can be used in place of Colby Jack cheese if preferred.
- Soft scramble the eggs gently for a fluffy texture that works well in the stromboli.
- Make sure to drain the cooked sausage thoroughly to prevent soggy dough.
- Diagonal slits cut into the crust help steam escape and keep the crust crisp.
- Serve with different dipping sauces to customize the flavor experience.
