Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 8 large flour tortillas
- 1 pound breakfast sausage (pork or turkey)
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
Country Gravy
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish
- Chopped chives or parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat and cook sausage: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and cooked through. Drain excess grease and set aside.
- Scramble the eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Scramble the eggs in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until just set. Remove from heat.
- Assemble enchiladas: Spoon some sausage, scrambled eggs, and a sprinkle of both cheeses into the center of each tortilla. Roll up tightly and place seam-side down in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Make the country gravy: In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in the milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Top and bake: Pour the country gravy evenly over the enchiladas. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until bubbly and golden.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from oven and garnish with chopped chives or parsley if desired. Serve warm.
Notes
- Make ahead by assembling the enchiladas the night before and baking in the morning.
- For extra flavor, add sautéed onions, bell peppers, or diced green chiles to the filling.
- If using plant-based sausage and egg substitute, this recipe can be made vegetarian.
