Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 1 (8-ounce) can thin crust refrigerated pizza dough
- 1 (8-ounce) can thin crust refrigerated pizza dough (for doubling layer)
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 also works)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Dough: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Open one can of pizza dough and stretch it thinly and evenly over the parchment paper, forming your stromboli base.
- Add Filling: Spread the soft scrambled eggs evenly over the stretched dough, leaving about a 3-inch border around the edges clear of eggs. Sprinkle the cooked and well-drained sausage over the eggs, followed by the shredded cheese. Reserve a few tablespoons of cheese for topping.
- Roll the Stromboli: Starting at one end, carefully roll the dough and filling up like a jelly roll, using the parchment paper to assist with rolling. Move the rolled stromboli toward the center of the parchment with the seam side down. Gently stretch and tuck the ends of the dough underneath to seal the roll. Cut several diagonal slits across the top crust to allow steam to escape. Sprinkle the reserved cheese over the top.
- Bake: Place the stromboli on the baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Let cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm by itself or with accompaniments such as sausage gravy, salsa, or marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
- You can substitute turkey sausage for pork sausage to reduce fat content.
- Cheddar cheese can be used instead of Colby Jack cheese without changing the flavor profile much.
- Ensure the sausage is well drained before adding it to prevent soggy dough.
- Cutting slits on the top crust helps steam escape and prevents dough from becoming soggy.
- Leftover stromboli can be reheated in the oven or microwave for a quick breakfast option.
