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 cheese works as an alternative)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easy.
- Prepare the dough: Open the can of refrigerated pizza dough and carefully stretch it thin and evenly onto the prepared parchment paper, leaving the dough in a rectangular shape.
- Add the fillings: Evenly spread the soft scrambled eggs over the stretched dough, leaving about a 3-inch border around the edges free of eggs. Sprinkle the cooked and well-drained sausage over the eggs, then top with shredded Colby Jack cheese, reserving a few tablespoons for sprinkling later on the crust.
- Roll the stromboli: Starting from one side, carefully roll the dough over the fillings like a jelly roll, using the parchment paper to help guide and lift the dough. Once rolled, slide the stromboli so that the seam is on the bottom to help it stay sealed. Stretch and tuck the ends of the dough underneath the stromboli to seal the edges.
- Prepare for baking: Using a sharp knife, cut several diagonal slits into the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking. Sprinkle the reserved cheese over the top of the stromboli for a golden, cheesy finish.
- Bake: Place the stromboli in the oven and bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Serve warm on its own or paired with sausage gravy, salsa, or marinara sauce for dipping, adding extra flavor options.
Notes
- You can substitute pork sausage with turkey sausage for a leaner option.
- Cheddar cheese can replace Colby Jack if preferred.
- Ensure the sausage is well drained to prevent soggy dough.
- Let the stromboli cool for a few minutes after baking to make slicing easier.
- This stromboli is best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in the oven for a crispy finish.
