Ingredients
Scale
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 an alternative)
- 8 large eggs, soft scrambled
- 2 cups shredded Colby Jack cheese (cheddar cheese can be used instead)
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare dough: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Open the can of pizza dough and stretch it thinly and evenly over the parchment paper, ensuring a roughly rectangular shape.
- Add filling: Spread the soft scrambled eggs evenly over the stretched dough, leaving about a 3-inch border around the edges free of eggs. Sprinkle the cooked and drained sausage evenly over the eggs. Then, sprinkle the shredded Colby Jack cheese over the sausage and eggs, reserving a few tablespoons for topping.
- Roll the stromboli: Starting from one edge, carefully roll the dough up tightly like a jelly roll, using the parchment paper to assist in rolling. Place the rolled stromboli in the center of the baking sheet with the seam side down. Stretch and tuck the ends underneath to seal. Cut several diagonal slits on the top of the crust to allow steam to escape. Sprinkle the reserved cheese on top.
- Bake: Bake the stromboli in the preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the crust turns golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Allow the stromboli to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm, on its own or accompanied by sausage gravy, salsa, or marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
- You can substitute turkey sausage to reduce fat content.
- Cheddar cheese can be used in place of Colby Jack for a sharper flavor.
- Make sure the sausage is well drained to prevent soggy dough.
- Use parchment paper to help with rolling and to prevent sticking during baking.
- Adjust baking time slightly depending on your oven and the thickness of the stromboli.
- Serve with your preferred dipping sauce for added flavor.
