  • Method: Baking
  • Cuisine: Mexican-American
  • Diet: Vegetarian

Ingredients

  • 6–8 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp milk or heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp butter or oil (for scrambling)
  • 1 cup cooked breakfast sausage or plant-based sausage
  • 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar or Mexican-blend cheese (divided)
  • 4 green onions, chopped
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 6–8 flour tortillas
  • 1 can (10–12 oz) enchilada sauce or 1 can of cream-of-cheese/mushroom soup mixed with ½ cup milk
  • Additional cheese for topping
  • Optional toppings: salsa, sour cream, avocado, hot sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 °F (175 °C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Whisk eggs with milk, salt, and pepper. Scramble lightly in butter until just set—still slightly moist.
  3. Stir in cooked sausage (or plant-based sausage), half of the cheese, and green onions.
  4. Fill each tortilla with egg mixture, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in the dish.
  5. Pour sauce evenly over enchiladas and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
  6. Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, until bubbly and cheese is melted and slightly browned.
  7. Let rest a few minutes, then serve with desired toppings.

Notes

  • Replace sausage with sautéed mushrooms, black beans, or roasted veggies for a vegetarian option.
  • Make ahead by assembling in advance—refrigerate overnight and bake in the morning.
  • For a golden top, uncover for the last 5 minutes or broil briefly.
