Ingredients
For the Enchiladas:
6 large flour tortillas
1 tablespoon butter
6 large eggs
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup green onions, chopped
For the Sausage Gravy:
1 lb breakfast sausage
1/4 cup flour
2 cups milk
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish large enough to hold your tortillas.
-
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the butter, then crack the eggs into the skillet. Scramble the eggs until fully cooked. Remove from the heat and set aside.
-
In the same skillet, cook the sausage, breaking it up into small pieces. Once browned, sprinkle the flour over the sausage and stir to combine.
-
Gradually add the milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Let the gravy simmer and thicken for about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
-
Warm the tortillas in the microwave for 20-30 seconds to make them pliable. Place a spoonful of scrambled eggs in the center of each tortilla, followed by a bit of shredded cheese and chopped green onions. Roll up the tortillas tightly.
-
Place the rolled tortillas seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
-
Pour the sausage gravy over the enchiladas, covering them completely.
-
Bake the enchiladas for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
-
Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
Vegetarian version: Skip the sausage and add sautéed vegetables like bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms.
Cheese options: Try pepper jack, gouda, or Monterey Jack for a twist.
Spicy option: Add diced jalapeños or hot sauce to the sausage gravy.
