🌯 Breakfast Enchiladas combine hearty sausage, melted cheese, and creamy eggs for an easy and satisfying morning meal.
🍳 Perfect for busy mornings or meal prep, this recipe can be made ahead and baked fresh for a comforting start to your day.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

– 1 lb browned sausage

– 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

– 8 flour tortillas (8 inch)

– 6 eggs

– 2 cups half-and-half

– 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

– 1/2 teaspoon salt

– 3 oz bacon bits

Instructions

1-First, spray a 13Γ—9 inch baking pan with cooking spray to keep everything from sticking, which makes cleanup a breeze. In a large bowl, mix the browned sausage, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, and half the bacon bits for a hearty filling. Place 1/8 of the mixture down the center of each tortilla, roll them up, and place them seam side down in the baking dish.

2-Next, in another bowl, beat the eggs, half-and-half, flour, and salt together until well combined, then pour this mixture over the tortillas in the pan. You can cover and refrigerate overnight for convenience or go ahead and bake right away. Preheat your oven to 350Β°F and uncover the dish if it was refrigerated, then sprinkle the remaining 1 cup cheese and bacon bits on top.

3-Cover and bake for 35 minutes, then uncover and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted. This method ensures a fluffy texture and golden finish, as mentioned in the preparation time: prep takes 15 minutes, cooking is about 1 hour, and total time is around 1 hour 15 minutes.

4-Substeps for SautΓ©ing and Assembling While the provided directions are key, here’s how to enhance them: start by preheating your oven as directed and gathering all ingredients to streamline the process. Focus on mixing the fillings carefully to distribute flavors evenly before rolling. Many home cooks find that letting the dish rest overnight, as suggested, allows the tortillas to absorb the eggs without getting mushy.
