Being only recently introduced to Stromboli (scrolling Instagram food posts is what we do when it’s too hot to be outside, right?), I’ve now tackled it a couple of times, and it immediately took a slot in my rotation. The ease with which Stromboli come together epitomizes Giada De Laurentiis’ “Everyday Italian” trademark. It’s easy, delicious, and, though ‘invented’ by an Italian-American immigrant in Philadelphia, gives all of the warmth and comfort that we expect from Italian food.
If you’re as anxious to try Stromboli as I am excited to share it with you, you can hop to the recipe, here. With store-bought pizza dough, sliced ham, grated mozzarella, and bagged spinach, nothing could be easier.
But don’t stop here!
The Stromboli recipe makes enough for 3-4 people, and with some slices leftover, I had a culinary epiphany when putting them in the fridge. Bread (✔️), ham (✔️), spinach (✔️), and cheese (✔️). Sound vaguely familiar? To me, there were all the elements of Eggs Benedict/Sardou, and the wheels started turning. So, if you’re wondering what Delmonico’s has to do with all this, Eggs Benedict were introduced to the culinary world by Delmonico’s in New York City in the mid 1800’s. So, while some may have seen leftovers going into the fridge, I saw a marriage made in foodie heaven.
Warm a couple of slices of Stromboli, top them with a poached egg, drench with Hollandaise, garnish with some fresh Ancho chili powder and Daikon radish micro greens, and Sunday brunch is ready!!! But don’t take my word for it!
Hope you enjoy. I know I enjoy sharing. Until next time!!!
