How to Make Breakfast Stromboli
Ingredients:
- 1 (13.8-ounce) can refrigerated pizza dough
- 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)
- 1 large egg (beaten)
- ¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Scramble 6 large eggs in a large skillet until they are mostly cooked but still a bit runny.
- Roll out the 1 (13.8-ounce) can of refrigerated pizza dough and stretch it on a piece of parchment paper. Spread 1 ½ cups of shredded cheddar cheese evenly across the top half of the dough, leaving about an inch empty on either end.
- Top the cheese with the scrambled eggs, ½ pound of cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage, ½ cup of cooked and crumbled bacon, and 2 sliced green onions.
- Roll up the dough tightly like a cinnamon roll and pinch the ends and the seam together well. Transfer the parchment paper to a baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, combine 1 large beaten egg and a tablespoon or two of water to make an egg wash. Flip the dough over so it is seam-side down in the center of the baking sheet, then brush the egg wash over the top.
- Sprinkle the top with ¼ teaspoon of Italian seasoning and ¼ teaspoon of garlic powder.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown on top. Serve immediately.
How to Serve Breakfast Stromboli
