Can I prepare this the night before and bake in the morning?

Absolutely! Assemble the stromboli completely, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, remove it from the refrigerator while your oven preheats, then bake as directed, adding about 5 minutes to the baking time.

What if I can't find thin crust pizza dough?

Regular pizza dough works too, but you'll want to roll it out a bit thinner than it comes. Alternatively, crescent roll dough or even puff pastry can be substituted, though the texture and baking time will vary slightly.

How do I prevent my stromboli from getting soggy?

Three key steps: make sure your sausage is well-drained, don't over-wet your scrambled eggs, and allow the fillings to cool slightly before assembling. Also, those slits in the top aren't just decorative—they help steam during baking.

Can I make individual smaller strombolis instead of one large one?

Definitely! Divide the dough and fillings to make 4-6 personal-sized strombolis. Reduce the baking time to about 15-20 minutes, watching carefully for that golden-brown finish.

Instructions

Preheat and Prepare Baking Sheet
Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Open the can of pizza dough and stretch it thin and even on the parchment to form a rectangular shape.
Assemble the Base Layer
Spread the soft scrambled eggs over the dough, ensuring you leave about a 3-inch border around the edges unfilled. This will help seal the stromboli later.
Add Sausage and Cheese
Evenly sprinkle the cooked and drained sausage over the scrambled eggs. Follow that with 2 cups of shredded Colby Jack cheese, reserving a few tablespoons for garnish.
Roll and Seal the Stromboli
Starting from one long side, carefully roll the dough up like a jelly roll, using the parchment paper to help guide the rolling process. Center the rolled stromboli on the parchment with the seam facing down. Stretch and tuck the ends securely underneath the stromboli.
Score and Garnish
Cut multiple diagonal slits across the stromboli’s top crust to allow steam to escape during baking. Sprinkle the reserved cheese on top for added flavor and a golden finish.
Bake Until Golden
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the stromboli is golden brown and fully cooked. Slice and serve warm on its own or with dipping options like sausage gravy, salsa, or marinara sauce.

Notes

Substitute pork sausage with turkey sausage or a plant-based sausage for a lighter version.
You can customize the cheese by using your favorite variety such as mozzarella or pepper jack.
Prep this recipe the night before and bake in the morning for an effortless breakfast.
