Breakfast Stromboli

For some time (in all probability near a yr), each Friday was “Home made Pizza Evening” at our home. We’d all the time have a ball of Entire Meals pizza dough stashed within the freezer ready to be was no matter creation we dreamed up. It was an evening that John, Lily, and I regarded ahead to all week… till I acquired in a rut of creating plain previous cheese pizza week after week and all of us grew uninterested in the monotony.

I just lately acquired bit by the pizza bug as soon as once more… however this time within the type of stromboli. I made a pepperoni stromboli, and pizza was as soon as once more an enormous hit in our home!

In an effort to keep away from falling into the identical rut as final time, I brainstormed totally different filling concepts for stromboli, and was immediately impressed to make a breakfast model.

We frequently have breakfast for dinner, which I really like due to how simple and fast it’s to organize. It’s additionally a meal I look ahead to practically each week as a result of I not often eat eggs within the morning.

So for this stromboli, I cooked up some breakfast sausage, scrambled some eggs, and layered them on pizza dough with cheddar cheese, rolled the entire shebang up, then baked it to a golden brown and served it with ketchup.

I by no means ate ketchup with eggs as a child, nevertheless it’s one in all Lily’s favourite condiments, so I’ve grown accustomed to having fun with the 2 collectively.

Now you may definitely indulge on this stromboli as your morning meal – and it could be excellent for a weekend brunch – however for me it’s extra a breakfast-for-dinner sort meal.

No matter what time of day you make it, you’re positively going to like this breakfast stromboli!
