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 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 your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Open the can of refrigerated pizza dough and carefully stretch it out thin and evenly on the parchment paper, ensuring it covers a large surface with a roughly rectangular shape.
- Add the filling: Spread the soft scrambled eggs evenly over the dough, leaving about a 3-inch border around all edges clear of eggs. Next, sprinkle the cooked and well-drained crumbled sausage evenly over the eggs. Finally, spread the shredded Colby Jack cheese over the sausage and egg mixture, saving a few tablespoons to sprinkle on top of the stromboli later.
- Shape the stromboli: Starting from one long side, carefully roll the dough up tightly like a jelly roll, using the parchment paper to assist in rolling. Once rolled, slide the stromboli to the center of the parchment-lined baking sheet with the seam side down. Gently stretch and tuck the ends under the stromboli to seal the filling inside. Cut several diagonal slits across the top of the crust to allow steam to escape. Sprinkle the remaining cheese evenly over the top of the stromboli.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and cooked through. The cheese on top should be melted and slightly browned.
- Serve: Remove the stromboli from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm on its own or with your choice of dipping sauces such as sausage gravy, salsa, or marinara sauce for added flavor.
Notes
- For a lighter option, substitute pork sausage with turkey sausage.
- You can use cheddar cheese instead of Colby Jack if preferred.
- Make sure the scrambled eggs are soft and not overcooked for a creamier texture inside the stromboli.
- The diagonal slits on top help prevent soggy crust by allowing steam to escape during baking.
- Serve with a variety of dipping sauces to customize flavor, including sausage gravy, salsa, or marinara sauce.
