Cheesy Breakfast Stromboli Recipe

Introduction

The Breakfast Stromboli is a delicious and hearty morning treat that combines classic breakfast ingredients wrapped in a crispy, golden crust. Perfect for family breakfasts or meal prep, this dish offers a satisfying start to your day.

Ingredients

• Pizza dough
• Eggs
• Cheese
• Meat (such as sausage, bacon, or ham)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven according to the pizza dough package instructions. Prepare the eggs by scrambling them until they are just set. Cook the meat of your choice until fully done.
2. Step 2: Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface. Spread the scrambled eggs evenly over the dough, then layer with cheese and cooked meat. Carefully roll the dough into a tight log, sealing the edges to enclose the filling. Place the stromboli on a baking sheet and bake until the crust is golden brown and cooked through.

Tips & Variations

• Use a mix of cheeses like mozzarella and cheddar for extra flavor.
• Add veggies such as bell peppers or spinach to boost nutrition and taste.
• Brush the crust with an egg wash before baking for a shiny, golden finish.

Storage

Store any leftover stromboli wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through and the crust is crisp again, about 10–15 minutes.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I make the stromboli ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the stromboli and refrigerate it for a few hours before baking. For longer storage, freeze it unbaked and thaw before baking.

What type of dough works best?

Pizza dough is ideal for a soft yet sturdy crust, but you can also use crescent roll dough or puff pastry for a different texture.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

For the Dough

• 1 package of pizza dough (about 1 lb)

For the Filling

• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella or cheddar recommended)
• 1 cup cooked meat (such as sausage, bacon, or ham), chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: chopped onions or bell peppers, herbs (oregano, basil)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, beat the eggs with salt and pepper. Cook the eggs in a non-stick skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softly scrambled. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly. Mix in the cooked meat and shredded cheese evenly.
2. Prepare the Dough: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface into a large rectangle approximately 12×8 inches.
3. Fill the Dough: Spoon the egg, cheese, and meat mixture evenly onto the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges.
4. Roll the Stromboli: Starting from the long edge, carefully roll the dough over the filling to form a tight log. Pinch the edges together to seal the seams and ends.
5. Bake: Place the stromboli seam side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Optionally, brush the top with an egg wash (1 beaten egg) for a golden crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
6. Cool and Serve: Allow the stromboli to cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy your hearty breakfast stromboli.

Notes

• You can customize the stromboli by adding veggies like spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers to the filling.
• Using pre-cooked meat ensures even cooking and prevents sogginess.
• Egg wash on top helps create a shiny, brown crust.
• Store leftovers wrapped in foil in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat in the oven for best results.
• Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife for clean slices.
