Ingredients
Pillsbury prepared pizza crust
1 (13 7/8 ounce can)
Honey mustard
1-2 (tablespoons)
Deli ham
1/2 (pound)
Swiss cheese, grated
1 (cup)
Broccoli, steamed and chopped
1 (cup (fresh or frozen))
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2
Prepare a large cookie sheet by spraying it with oil to prevent sticking.
3
Unroll the Pillsbury pizza crust onto the prepared cookie sheet and gently stretch it to approximately 16 inches by 12 inches.
4
Spread 1 to 2 tablespoons of honey mustard evenly over the entire pizza crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
5
Layer the deli ham evenly along one long edge of the crust, followed by the grated Swiss cheese and the steamed, chopped broccoli.
6
Starting from the edge with the ham, roll the pizza crust tightly towards the opposite edge, ensuring the filling stays inside.
7
Once rolled, place the stromboli seam side down on the cookie sheet. Using a sharp knife, make small diagonal slits every 2-3 inches across the top of the crust to allow steam to escape.
8
Bake the stromboli in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
