Servings 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 Head of Broccoli
- 6 Large Eggs
- Salt and Pepper
- 1 tube of Crescent Roll Dough or Pizza Dough
- 1 cup of Baby Spinach
- 1 teaspoon Flour
- ½ cup of Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- 1 tablespoons Butter
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Rinse the broccoli in water, then slice the florets off the broccoli and place into a bowl. Microwave for 1 minute. This will partially cook the broccoli.
- Next, prepare the scrambled eggs. Whisk the eggs together, and pour into a nonstick skillet heated over medium low heat. Season the eggs with salt and pepper, and stir frequently until the eggs are about 90% cooked. You want them to be a little runny.
- Dust the flour over a work surface and lay out the crescent roll dough. Pinch the seams together, and roll out the dough so that it increases in size about 20%.
- Spread the spinach out in the center of the dough.
- Add the scrambled eggs on top of the spinach.
- Layer the cheese over the cheese on top.
- Lastly add the broccoli.
- You can either simply fold the dough over the fillings, or you can braid the dough.
- Place on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Then melt the butter and brush it over the dough. Return the breakfast calzone to the oven for 10 more minutes.
- Slice and serve.
Notes
Charles wanted me to tell you that if you want to use a less sweet dough, you can use pizza dough instead of Crescent Roll Dough. Pillsbury makes a thin crust pizza dough that unrolls to be just the right thickness, and it would be a great substitution for the Crescent Roll Dough.
