Description
A delicious and hearty Breakfast Stromboli featuring soft scrambled eggs, savory cooked sausage, and melted Colby Jack cheese rolled inside a thin, crispy pizza dough crust, perfect for a satisfying breakfast or brunch meal.
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 works as an alternative)
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 pizza dough and gently stretch it out thinly and evenly over the parchment paper, leaving space around the edges.
- Add Filling: Spread the soft scrambled eggs evenly over the stretched dough, leaving about a 3-inch border free of eggs around the edges. Evenly sprinkle the cooked and drained sausage on top of the eggs, followed by most of the shredded cheese. Reserve a few tablespoons of cheese for topping later.
- Roll the Stromboli: Starting from one side, carefully roll the dough up like a jelly roll, using the parchment paper to help you roll it smoothly. Once rolled, position the stromboli seam-side down near the center of the parchment. Gently stretch and tuck the ends underneath the roll to seal them. Cut several diagonal slits across the top crust to allow steam to escape. Sprinkle the reserved cheese evenly over the top.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the stromboli for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Remove from oven and let it cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm on its own or with accompaniments like sausage gravy, salsa, or marinara sauce as dips.
Notes
- For a leaner option, substitute pork sausage with turkey sausage.
- You can use cheddar cheese instead of Colby Jack for a sharper flavor.
- Make sure to drain the cooked sausage well to prevent sogginess inside the stromboli.
- Diagonal slits on top help release steam and prevent the crust from bursting during baking.
- Serve with complementary sauces like marinara or salsa for extra flavor variety.
