Cheesy sausage, ham and egg breakfast calzones are a hearty breakfast that will keep everyone happy! Breakfast favorites get wrapped in pizza dough and baked to golden brown, cheesy perfection.

If you’ve been on this site a time or two before, you may know I’m not much of a morning person.

I’m not a fan of anything before I have my first cup of coffee.

But, I am a big fan of any breakfasts I can make ahead of time like these breakfast calzones stuffed chock full of sausage, ham, cheese, eggs, and other favorites.

You can make them then night before and then just pop them in the oven.

And bam, just like that, breakfast is served!

What is a calzone?

A calzone is an Italian dish made of pizza dough folded up around toppings and baked.

This breakfast calzone has pizza dough folded around fluffy scrambled eggs, cheese, and a variety of breakfast meats before being baked to perfection.

Ingredients

To make this you’ll need:

Pizza crust– You can make homemade crust or use a refrigerated pizza dough.
Veggies– Diced green bell pepper and dice red onion
Sausage– Cooked and crumbled
Eggs– Scramble them. Check out my guide to make foolproof scrambled eggs.
Cheese– Shredded sharp cheddar. You could substitute shredded Monterrey jack if you prefer.
Salsa– Your favorite kind.
Ham– Either leftovers from dinner or deli ham diced.
Butter– Melted

How to Make

Making breakfast calzones is pretty straight forward.

Start by making your filling by scrambling the eggs.

Set the eggs aside while you saute the sausage, peppers, and onions in a large skillet over medium heat until the sausage is cooked through and slightly crisp.

Drain the sausage mixture, and set aside.

Then roll the pizza dough out onto a lightly floured, flat surface and use a rolling pin to roll it out until it’s almost doubled in size.

Cut the rolled out dough in half.

Put both halves to a parchment paper lined baking sheet, so that one half is hanging over the edge, waiting for when you need to fold it over and seal.

Then start filling the crust, dividing the salsa and spreading it out evenly over each half of the dough on the pan.

Top the salsa with half of the sausage mixture follow by the eggs.

Then top the eggs with a quarter cup of cheese and a quarter cup of ham.

Pull that other half of the dough hanging over the tray up and over the fillings so there is about 1/2-1″ of just overlapping dough.

Seal the dough together by pinching it with your fingers or pressing it together with the tines of a fork.

Using a sharp knife, cut 3 slits in the top of each calzone.

Brush the melted butter evenly over each one with a pastry brush.

Sprinkle the 1/4 cup of cheese evenly out overtop each calzone.

Bake the calzones at 350 degrees for 25 minutes, or until the dough’s cooked and golden brown.

Remove the calzones from the oven, let them rest 5 minutes, and slice and serve!

Storing

Breakfast calzones store beautifully!

Wrap them tightly in foil or place them in an airtight container and refrigerate them.

They will keep for 4 days in the fridge.

Reheat them in a 350 degree oven until warmed through.

Make Ahead

To make them ahead, assemble and bake the calzones the night before.

Reheat them the next morning in a hot oven until warmed through.

Tips and Tricks

These calzones are highly customizable. Don’t like sausage? That’s fine. Skip it and use bacon. Vegetarian? Use a full pepper and onion and saute mushrooms to serve under the eggs.
Make sure to let the calzones rest prior to serving. The calzones need that time for the filling to set a little so it doesn’t all spill out.
Don’t skip cutting the slits! The steam needs the slits so it can escape without making the calzone puff up too much.
