Ingredients
Scale
Stromboli Dough
- 1 (8-ounce) can thin crust refrigerated pizza dough
Filling
- 1 pound pork breakfast sausage, cooked, crumbled, and well drained (or turkey sausage as a substitute)
- 8 large eggs, soft scrambled
- 2 cups shredded Colby Jack cheese (cheddar cheese can be used alternatively)
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 carefully stretch it thin and evenly over the parchment paper.
- Add Filling Layers: Spread the soft scrambled eggs evenly over the dough, leaving about a 3-inch border free of egg around the edges. Sprinkle the cooked and drained sausage atop the eggs, then cover with cheese, reserving a few tablespoons for topping the stromboli.
- Roll Up Stromboli: Starting from one side, gently roll the dough over the filling like a jelly roll, using the parchment paper to assist the rolling process. Place the rolled stromboli seam-side down in the middle of the parchment, then stretch and tuck the ends underneath to seal. Cut several diagonal slits into the crust to vent steam. Sprinkle the reserved cheese on top.
- Bake the Stromboli: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes until the crust is golden brown and cooked through. Remove from oven and let it cool slightly before slicing.
- Serve: Serve the stromboli warm on its own or with your favorite breakfast sides such as sausage gravy, salsa, or marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute turkey sausage for pork sausage.
- Cheddar cheese works well as an alternative to Colby Jack.
- Ensure sausage is well drained to avoid soggy crust.
- Soft scramble eggs gently to retain creaminess in the filling.
- You can make this stromboli ahead and reheat it in the oven before serving.
