Ingredients:
For the stromboli:
1 lb (450g) pizza dough, store-bought or homemade
1 ½ cups cooked chicken, shredded
1 cup turkey bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp Italian seasoning
2 tbsp butter, melted
1 large egg, beaten
2 tbsp all-purpose flour (for rolling out the dough)
For the dipping sauce:
1 cup marinara sauce
—
Instructions: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle (about 12×15 inches).
Spread the shredded chicken evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
Sprinkle the crumbled turkey bacon and both mozzarella and cheddar cheeses on top of the chicken.
Season with garlic powder and Italian seasoning.
Starting from one long side, carefully roll the dough into a tight log, tucking in the ends as you go. Place the stromboli seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the top with beaten egg and melted butter for a golden crust.
Using a sharp knife, make small slits on top of the stromboli to allow steam to escape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing into pieces. Serve with warm marinara sauce for dipping. Enjoy!

Ingredients:
1 pre-made pie crust (or homemade)
6 large eggs
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Salt to taste
1 tablespoon butter (for greasing the pan)
Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a pie dish with butter or cooking spray.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove from heat and crumble. Set aside.
In the same skillet, sauté the chopped onion in the bacon drippings for 3-4 minutes, until softened.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cream, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt until fully combined.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and sautéed onions to the egg mixture. Stir until everything is well incorporated.
Pour the egg mixture into the prepared pie crust.
