Ingredients
Scale
Stromboli 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 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 refrigerated pizza dough and stretch it thin and evenly on the parchment paper, ensuring the dough forms a large rectangle.
- Add the Filling: Evenly spread the soft scrambled eggs over the stretched dough, leaving about a 3-inch border around the edges free of egg. Sprinkle the cooked and drained sausage over the eggs, followed by sprinkling the shredded Colby Jack cheese, reserving a few tablespoons for topping later.
- Roll the Stromboli: Starting from one side, carefully roll the dough up like a jelly roll, using the parchment paper to assist in rolling it smoothly. Slide the rolled stromboli to the center of the parchment with the seam side down. Stretch and tuck the ends under the stromboli to seal the filling inside. Cut several diagonal slits into the crust to allow steam to escape, then sprinkle the reserved cheese on top.
- Bake: Bake the stromboli in the preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and fully cooked. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm on its own or with accompaniments like sausage gravy, salsa, or marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
- You can substitute turkey sausage for pork sausage for a leaner option.
- Cheddar cheese can be used instead of Colby Jack if preferred.
- Ensure eggs are soft scrambled to maintain moisture inside the stromboli.
- Letting the stromboli cool briefly before slicing helps keep the filling intact.
- Use parchment paper during rolling and baking for easy handling and cleanup.
