Ingredients
Scale
Meats:
- 0.5 pounds breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled
- 0.5 cup bacon, cooked and crumbled
Base and Cheese:
- 1 (13.8 ounces/392 grams) can refrigerated pizza dough
- 6 large eggs
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Seasonings and Toppings:
- 2 green onions, sliced thin
- 0.25 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F, ensuring an optimal cooking environment for the breakfast stromboli.
- In a large skillet, gently scramble the eggs until they are softly set but not completely dry, maintaining a creamy texture.
- Carefully unfurl the dough onto parchment paper, stretching it to create a rectangular surface. Distribute cheddar cheese evenly across the top half of the dough, leaving small margins at the edges.
- Layer the partially cooked eggs, crispy sausage, crumbled bacon, and finely chopped green onions directly on top of the cheese, creating a flavorful filling.
- Tightly roll the dough from the filled side, mimicking a cinnamon roll technique. Firmly seal the edges and seam to prevent ingredients from escaping during baking.
- Whisk an egg with a splash of water to create a glossy wash. Position the rolled stromboli seam-side down on the baking sheet, then generously brush with the egg mixture. Sprinkle Italian seasoning and garlic powder for an aromatic finish.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until the exterior transforms into a golden-brown, crispy shell. Serve immediately to enjoy the warm, melted interior and flaky crust.
Notes
- Customize Protein Options: Swap sausage and bacon with turkey bacon, ham, or vegetarian sausage crumbles for different flavor profiles and dietary needs.
- Control Egg Moisture: Remove eggs from heat when slightly wet to prevent overcooking during baking, ensuring a creamy texture inside the stromboli.
- Prevent Soggy Bottom: Place the parchment paper on a preheated baking sheet to help crisp up the bottom of the dough and avoid a doughy base.
- Cheese Melting Trick: Use shredded cheese for even distribution and better melting throughout the stromboli, creating a gooey texture in every bite.
