You’ve Got To Try This Breakfast Enchiladas Recipe

They’re a hearty, make-ahead breakfast that’s perfect for weekends, holidays, or brunch with family and friends. Hearty Breakfast Enchiladas are packed with sausage, bacon, cheese, and eggs for a filling morning meal that’s perfect for weekends and is great for filling bellies for holiday breakfasts!

Let’s Gather The Ingredients

  • Bacon: I used a thick-cut smoked bacon.
  • Sausage: I used Jimmy Dean hot sausage.
  • Potatoes: I used Obrien potatoes, but regular ones will also work.
  • Cheese: Use your favorite
  • Half n half: You can also make your own by using 1/2 milk and 1/2 heavy cream
  • Salsa: I like to use a thick jarred salsa.
  • Tortillas: 8 inch flour
  • large eggs: Add an extra one if they are medium sized.
  • All purpose flour: Helps to thicken the custard.

How to Make these Breakfast Enchiladas

  • Step 1: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced bacon and cook until crispy. Remove it from the pan and drain on a paper towel. If there’s excess grease, carefully remove about half from the bottom of pan.
  • Step 2: In the same skillet, add the breakfast sausage and cook until fully browned. Transfer the sausage to a large mixing bowl.
  • Step 3: Add the O’Brien potatoes to the skillet and cook until heated through and lightly crispy. Add them to the bowl with the sausage.
  • Step 4: Stir in the salsa and half of the shredded cheese to the bowl with the meats and potato mixture you’ve already cooked.
  • Step 5: In a separate bowl, whisk together the half and half, eggs, salt, pepper, and flour until smooth.
  • Step 6: Lay out tortillas. Spoon about ½ cup of filling into each tortilla. 
  • Step 7: Roll them up and place seam side down into your prepared baking dish. Repeat with the remaining filling and tortillas.
  • Step 8: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the enchiladas, then sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Cover with foil and bake.

Recipe Tips

  • Freshly shredded cheese melts more smoothly than pre-packaged. But if you only have the preshredded stuff, it’ll still work. 
  • The center should be set and eggs should not be runny before removing from the oven.
  • Top with crispy bacon, green onions, and diced tomatoes. Serve warm with sour cream or extra salsa. You could even add some enchilada sauce. 
  • Instead of regular sausage, try ground turkey to change up the flavor and protein source. 
  • Serve with a simple fruit salad, hash browns, or a side of refried beans for a full brunch menu.
