Breakfast Stromboli

When you need a savory showstopper for your next brunch, a pound of pizza dough can be just the ticket to elevate all the ingredients of a breakfast sandwich into something beautiful and  tasty.

Ingredients:

• 1 package of pizza dough
• ⅓ cup diced peppers
• ⅓ cup diced onion
• 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 1 cup frozen hashbrowns, shredded potatoes
• 1 cup egg whites
• ½ cup reduced fat shredded cheese
• Dash of salt and pepper
• Seasoning of choice

Directions:

1. Cook your bacon, drain and set aside.
2. Spray a large frying pan with some non stick cooking spray, place on stove over medium heat.  Dice your pepper & onion and add to your pan, then add your potatoes. Add in a dash of salt & pepper. Cook for approx. 15 minutes stirring often.
3. In a separate pan,  also sprayed with some cooking spray,  cook and scramble your egg whites.
4. Place your potatoes mix & scramble egg whites in a bowl. Add in crumble bacon and seasoning of choice and mix well.
5. Preheat oven to 375F, use a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
6. Roll out your pizza dough so it is approximately 14x9 inches.
7. Using a pizza cutter or knife, make cuts down each side of the dough but leaving the middle uncut. Make sure your cuts line up with opposite side
8. Spoon your mixture into the middle of your dough, top with your cheese then braid your cut dough pieces over top.
9. Brush some egg whites on top of dough and bake in oven for approx 25 minutes or until golden brown.
10. Cut into 6 equal servings

Tupps Tidbits:  use your own pizza crust to make this extra special, also, when serving, it best to cut in the middle then cut each piece into 3 equal pieces

Normally we do not have a double carb breakfast, but WOW, this was pretty to serve and tasted great.  This is definately a KEEPER RECIPE at our house.
