🍽 Ingredients

📖 Instructions

  1. First things first, let's get that oven ready. Pre-heat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grab a 9x13-inch baking dish and give it a light spray with cooking oil. You want those enchiladas to slide right out.
  2. Time to make the star of the show: the sausage gravy! In a large skillet over medium-high heat, crumble and cook your ground breakfast sausage until it's browned all over. No pink left, okay? Once it's cooked, drain any excess grease. Leave a little bit, maybe a tablespoon or two, for flavor.
  3. Sprinkle the flour over the cooked sausage in the skillet. Stir it in well, making sure all the sausage bits get coated. Cook for about 1 minute, stirring continuously, to cook out that raw flour taste. This is called making a roux, and it's key to thick, luscious gravy.
  4. Now, slowly pour in the milk, whisking constantly as you go. This is important to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer, and as it heats up, it will start to thicken beautifully. Continue to whisk until your gravy is smooth and reaches your desired thickness. Season it good with salt and black pepper to taste. If you like a little kick, a tiny pinch of cayenne pepper is amazing here! Set the gravy aside, but keep it warm.
  5. Next up, the eggs! In a medium bowl, whisk your eggs with a splash of milk, a pinch of salt, and a dash of pepper. Melt the butter or heat oil in a separate skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring occasionally with a spatula, until the eggs are fluffy and just set. Be careful not to overcook them; they'll get another round of heat in the oven.
  6. Alright, assembly time! Lightly warm your corn tortillas in the microwave for about 30 seconds, or quickly dip them in the warm gravy. This makes them more pliable and stops them from tearing when you roll 'em. Lay out a tortilla, spoon about 1/4 cup of the scrambled eggs down the center, and sprinkle with a good handful of shredded cheese.
  7. Roll up the tortilla tightly and place it seam-side down in your prepared baking dish. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas, eggs, and cheese, arranging them snugly in the dish.
  8. Once all your enchiladas are rolled, pour that delicious, warm sausage gravy generously over the top. Make sure every single enchilada is smothered! Sprinkle any remaining shredded cheese over the gravy.
  9. Pop the baking dish into your preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the gravy is bubbly and the cheese is melted and slightly golden. You want everything heated through and comforting.
  10. Carefully remove the dish from the oven. Let it sit for about 5 minutes before serving. This lets everything set up a bit. Garnish with chopped green onions, if you're feelin' fancy, and serve immediately. Enjoy your super hearty breakfast!

📝 Notes

  • For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the gravy.
  • If you prefer a thicker gravy, let it simmer a little longer; for thinner, add a splash more milk.
  • Don't overcook the scrambled eggs; they'll continue to cook in the oven.
  • Lightly warm the tortillas before rolling to prevent tearing.
