How to Make Breakfast Stromboli?
Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F. Cook the breakfast sausage in a skillet until browned and crumbly. Make sure to drain any excess grease to avoid a soggy stromboli. Meanwhile, scramble the eggs until soft and slightly undercooked (they’ll finish cooking in the oven).
Step 2: Roll Out the Dough
Unroll the pizza dough onto a sheet of parchment paper. Using your hands, gently stretch it into a thin, even rectangle. This will form the base of your stromboli. 🍕
Step 3: Layer the Fillings
Spread the scrambled eggs evenly over the dough, leaving about a 3-inch border on all sides. Next, sprinkle the cooked sausage over the eggs, followed by a generous layer of shredded cheese. Pro tip? 🍳 Reserve a small handful of cheese for topping!
Step 4: Roll It Up
Using the parchment paper to help, carefully roll the dough up like a jelly roll. Tuck the ends under and position the seam on the bottom. 📜 Place the rolled-up stromboli on a baking sheet and cut a few diagonal slits across the top for venting. Sprinkle the reserved cheese over the crust. 🧀
Step 5: Bake to Perfection
Bake the stromboli for 20–30 minutes, or until the crust turns golden brown and flaky. Once done, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before slicing. Enjoy warm, with your favorite dipping sauce!
Tips for Making the Recipe
- Drain the Sausage Well: Excess grease can lead to a soggy stromboli, so draining it thoroughly is key.
- Undercook the Eggs Slightly: They’ll finish cooking in the oven, so leave them a little soft to avoid drying out the filling.
- Use Parchment Paper: It makes rolling and transferring the stromboli a breeze while also preventing sticking.
- Customize the Size: Cut the rolled stromboli into individual portions before baking if you want single-serve pieces.
How to Serve Breakfast Stromboli?
