Plan ahead to prepare the dough. Set out the frozen bread dough to rise according to the package instructions. (Set at room temperature in a loaf pan. Then cover with plastic wrap. Allow it to thaw and rise for 5-6 hours.)
Scramble the eggs. In a glass bowl, whisk the eggs well. Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the eggs. Use a spatula to move the egg mixture around as it cooks. Continue to do this until the eggs are almost all set.
Add in the cream cheese. Continue to move the eggs around to mix in the cream cheese, until it is mixed in and the eggs are fully cooked. Remove the eggs from the heat.
Brown the sausage. While the eggs are cooking, brown the turkey sausage in a skillet over medium heat until it is no longer pink. Drain off any fat.
Roll one loaf of bread dough out on a lightly floured surface to a 10x14” rectangle.
Assemble the stromboli. Sprinkle with ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese down the center lengthwise. Spoon half of the scrambled eggs over the cheese. Top with half of the turkey sausage. Sprinkle an additional ½ cup cheddar cheese on top.
Repeat with the second loaf of bread dough.
Close the stromboli. With kitchen scissors or a pizza cutter, make cuts down the long sides of the dough (both sides) about 1 ½” thick and about 3 inches long. Starting at one end, fold one piece of dough across the filing, then fold the first piece of dough on the other side over. Continue in this manner, criss-crossing from one side to the other, until the entire stromboli is covered. Tuck in the ends slightly to seal. Then repeat with the second stromboli.
Egg wash. Place the stromboli on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water. Brush the top of the dough lightly with the egg wash.
Bake the stromboli. Bake at 400ºF for 25-30 minutes. If the stromboli is getting too browned on top, cover loosely with foil. Allow to cool for 5 minutes, then each stromboli into 10 slices to serve.
Notes
Serve with ranch dressing if desired.
