Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 1 (13.8-ounce) can refrigerated pizza dough
Filling
- 6 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ pound breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled
- ½ cup bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 2 green onions, sliced thin
Egg Wash & Seasoning
- 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 1-2 tablespoons water (mixed with the egg for egg wash)
- ¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the stromboli.
- Scramble Eggs: In a large skillet over medium heat, scramble the 6 large eggs until they are mostly cooked but still slightly runny, ensuring they stay moist inside the stromboli.
- Prepare Dough: Roll out the refrigerated pizza dough on a piece of parchment paper, stretching it evenly. Leave about an inch of space on either end of the top half to accommodate the filling without spillover.
- Add Cheese Layer: Evenly spread the 1 ½ cups of shredded cheddar cheese over the top half of the stretched dough to create a melty, flavorful base for the filling.
- Add Fillings: Layer the scrambled eggs, cooked and crumbled sausage, crumbled bacon, and sliced green onions on top of the cheese to build the savory filling.
- Roll and Seal: Carefully roll the dough tightly like a cinnamon roll, pinching the ends and seam well to seal all fillings inside to prevent leakage during baking.
- Transfer to Baking Sheet: Transfer the parchment paper with the rolled stromboli onto a baking sheet, placing it seam-side down so the seam stays sealed.
- Apply Egg Wash: In a small bowl, combine the beaten egg with 1-2 tablespoons of water and brush this egg wash evenly on top of the stromboli. This will help achieve a beautiful golden-brown finish.
- Season: Sprinkle ¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning and ¼ teaspoon garlic powder evenly over the top to add extra aroma and flavor.
- Bake: Bake the stromboli in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve immediately while hot and fresh for a delicious breakfast treat.
Notes
- Ensure the eggs are slightly runny before adding as filling to keep the stromboli moist.
- You can substitute cheddar cheese for your preferred melting cheese like mozzarella or a cheese blend.
- Don’t overfill the dough to avoid leakage during baking.
- Leftover stromboli can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated for a quick breakfast.
- Use parchment paper to make transferring easier and prevent sticking.
