Description

These Breakfast Enchiladas are a hearty and satisfying way to start your day. Filled with savory sausage, potatoes, and cheese, they’re baked in a creamy egg mixture and topped with your favorite toppings for a delicious and easy breakfast casserole.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 pound breakfast sausage (pork or turkey)
  • 1/4 cup salsa
  • 12 cups potatoes O’Brien with onions and peppers
  • 8 (8-inch) flour tortillas
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 1/4 cups half-and-half
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack or pepper jack cheese, divided

Optional Toppings:

  • Chopped cilantro
  • Diced tomatoes
  • Sliced green onions
  • Crumbled bacon

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Cook Sausage and Potatoes: In a large skillet, brown the sausage over medium-high heat. Drain any excess grease. Transfer to a bowl and stir in salsa, ¾ cup cheddar cheese, and ¼ cup Monterey Jack cheese. Add potatoes O’Brien to the skillet and cook until heated through. Add to the sausage mixture and stir to combine.
  3. Fill Tortillas: Spoon ⅛ of the sausage and potato mixture into the center of each tortilla. Roll up tightly and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
  4. Make Egg Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together eggs, half-and-half, flour, and salt. Pour over the filled tortillas in the baking dish. Sprinkle with the remaining cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese.
  5. Bake: Cover with foil and bake for 35 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Serve: Top with your desired toppings and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Make Ahead: Assemble the enchiladas and egg mixture the night before, cover, and refrigerate. Bake the next morning according to the instructions.
  • Variation: Sprinkle crumbled bacon over the top with the cheese before baking.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven.
