Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 (8-ounce) can thin crust refrigerated pizza dough
- 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
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the stromboli.
- Prepare Sausage: Cook the pork breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into crumbles. Drain any excess grease to keep the stromboli from becoming greasy.
- Soft Scramble Eggs: In a bowl, whisk the eggs and cook them gently over low heat while stirring constantly until just set but still soft and creamy. Remove from heat to avoid overcooking.
- Roll Out Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the refrigerated pizza dough into a rectangular shape roughly 12×8 inches to allow for easy filling and rolling.
- Assemble Stromboli: Evenly spread the cooked sausage over the dough, then layer the soft scrambled eggs on top, followed by the shredded Colby Jack cheese.
- Roll and Seal: Carefully roll the dough from one of the long sides into a tight log, sealing the edges and ends by pinching the dough to prevent filling leakage during baking.
- Bake Stromboli: Transfer the rolled stromboli seam side down onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and fully cooked inside.
- Rest and Slice: Let the stromboli rest for about 5 minutes after baking, then slice into portions and serve warm for a delightful holiday breakfast treat.
Notes
- For a crisper crust, brush the stromboli with an egg wash (1 beaten egg) before baking.
- Feel free to substitute Colby Jack cheese with cheddar or mozzarella for a different flavor.
- You can add chopped bell peppers or onions to the sausage mixture for extra veggies.
- Make sure to drain the sausage well to avoid excess grease inside the stromboli.
- Store leftovers wrapped tightly in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven for best texture.
