Southern Breakfast Enchiladas with Sausage Gravy

To create this mouthwatering dish, gather the following ingredients:

  • 6 large flour tortillas
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/2 cup cooked breakfast potatoes or hashbrowns (optional)
  • 2 green onions, sliced

For the Sausage Gravy:

  • 1/2 pound pork breakfast sausage (or turkey/chicken sausage for a pork-free version)
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

Directions

Follow these simple steps to bring your Southern Breakfast Enchiladas to life:

  • Step 1: Make the Sausage Gravy: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage, breaking it apart with a spatula until browned and fully cooked. Sprinkle in the flour and stir to coat the sausage. Cook for 1 minute.
  • Step 2: Slowly add the milk while stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder if using. Set aside and keep warm.
  • Step 3: Scramble the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Melt butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the eggs and cook, stirring gently, until just set. Remove from heat.
  • Step 4: Assemble the Enchiladas: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Spoon scrambled eggs, cooked potatoes (if using), green onions, and a mix of shredded cheeses into each tortilla. Roll them up and place seam-side down in the dish.
  • Step 5: Top with Gravy: Pour the sausage gravy evenly over the enchiladas. Sprinkle extra cheese on top if desired.
  • Step 6: Bake: Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 5–10 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.
  • Step 7: Serve: Garnish with extra green onions and serve warm with hot sauce or a side of fresh fruit.
