Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 1 (8-ounce) can thin crust refrigerated pizza dough
Filling
- 1 pound pork breakfast sausage, cooked, crumbled, and well drained
- 8 large eggs, soft scrambled
- 2 cups shredded Colby Jack cheese (cheddar works too)
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the pork breakfast sausage until fully browned and crumbled. Drain the excess fat and set aside. Meanwhile, softly scramble the eggs until just cooked but still moist, then set aside.
- Preheat the oven: Heat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the stromboli.
- Roll out the dough: On a lightly floured surface, carefully shape and roll the refrigerated pizza dough into a rectangle about 12×8 inches.
- Assemble the stromboli: Evenly spread the cooked sausage over the dough, then layer the scrambled eggs on top of the sausage. Generously sprinkle the shredded Colby Jack cheese over the eggs to create a deliciously cheesy center.
- Roll and seal: Starting from one long side, carefully roll the dough up tightly like a jelly roll, pinching the edges to seal and prevent filling leakage during baking.
- Bake: Place the stromboli seam-side-down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and serve: Let the stromboli rest for 5-10 minutes after baking to set. Slice into portions and serve warm for a festive and hearty breakfast treat.
Notes
- You can substitute cheddar or mozzarella cheese for Colby Jack if preferred.
- For an extra festive touch, add chopped bell peppers or spinach to the filling.
- Make sure to drain the sausage well to avoid a soggy stromboli crust.
- Allow the stromboli to cool slightly before slicing to maintain the structure and prevent the filling from spilling out.
- This stromboli can be prepared ahead of time and baked fresh in the morning for convenience.
