A couple weekends ago we headed up to the cabin with my mom and dad for a relaxing weekend. The guys were going to try the ice fishing up there and us girls were just going to hang out and do a little shopping. It sounded great. We could just relax and do whatever we wanted and not have a worry.
This sounded great until the hubby came down with a bad cold a couple days before we left. He decided he was good enough to go so we still went. Saturday morning the guys headed out to the lake and us girls left to do some shopping. Throughout the morning I thought my throat was a little dry but blamed it conveniently on the cabin and hoping it was just dry in there. As the day wore on the sicker I became until that night I was shivering, exhausted and aching. Fun stuff. Off to bed I went.
The next day I felt terrible still but the aches were gone I just had a terrible sore throat. This went on for a couple days then it moved to my head. Ugh. Seriously. Could the chest cold not be enough. Nope. Everything started draining. Lovely picture I’m painting here isn’t it? It seems like so many people are sick right now. I’m so ready for spring.
It’s only the middle of January. *SIGH*
If you are looking for a breakfast to warm you up in the bitterly cold January winter here one is. It’s a bit of a fun twist on a regular old egg bake. You can switch the meat for whatever you like or have on hand. I was worried the tortillas were going to be soggy if I put the eggs in the night before but I did it anyways and it was awesome! The eggs run into the tortillas and it’s so yummy!

Hi there, can I use heavy cream instead of half and half?
Sarah Hill says
Since heavy cream contains more fat, it is thicker and has a richer taste and a creamier mouthfeel than half-and-half. While we haven’t tested it, you more than likely can use heavy cream, but you might not need quite as much!
Yvette says
Made this for the first time using Keto friendly egg wraps and sweet Italian sausage. My husband loved it and so did I. Followed recipe exactly and it came out beautifully. We had it for dinner, not breakfast.
Courtney says
Awesome, so glad you loved it!
Lauri says
So, I can’t wait to make this!! I will be adding a little Chorizo with the breakfast sausage and some diced green chili’s a a little diced jalapeños – will let you know how it turns out!! Thank you for sharing!!
Cassie says
Super easy to make and tastes great!!! I drizzled red enchilada sauce over the top too which was great!
Courtney says
Thank you!!
Tracy Badger says
Terrible. Just terrible. SO disappointed in this. My husband and I had planned on making this for our guests for a brunch today, but the brunch was cancelled and I’m happy they didn’t have to endure this. I’m also sad that we spent money on the ingredients and had to throw all but the two we tried to eat – away. Very disappointed.
Rose says
Very easy and definitely delicious! I used sausage but I’m not a fan of it so the next time I make this I’m going to try spinach and mushrooms.
Courtney says
Thank you!
Angie says
Can this recipe be made with corn tortillas?
DianneTheFoodie says
Sounds great but to make it more enchilada-y I’d drench heated flour tortillas with enchilada sauce—- maybe the red kind to pair with the sausage?
Courtney says
That does sound delicious!
Carol says
In direction #4, it should be ‘flour’ not ‘four’. Please change the directions.
Courtney says
We will get that fixed. Thank you!
Stephanie says
Rude. Unnecessary comment/criticism on a free recipe when you clearly knew what was meant. Please change your attitude.
Courtney says
Thank you, Stephanie!
Chakka says
