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!

Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!
Could you use ham instead of sausage?
Yes that should work fine!
These were easy and delicious! I added onions, and served them with Salsa and Sour Cream.
Great to hear Jackie!
any chance you can make this dish in a crock pot? If so how long do you think I need to cook it for?
I would say just a a few hours on low maybe? I’ve never tried it.
I ended up with several dozen corn torillas left over from a catered lunch at work and have lots of eggs from our goose and peahen, so I was looking for a recipe to make use of them. This enchilada recipe worked quite well! I don’t cook much, but this was fairly easy and fool-proof. I used corn tortillas instead of flour, real bacon instead of bacon bits, and 1 cup milk + 1 cup cream instead of the half-and-half. Since the egg/milk/cream mixture had only 1 Tbsp of flour, I thought it would function more like a sauce, but it made a puffy souffle-like bed for the enchiladas. It was just a tad salty for me, with plenty of salt coming from the meat and cheese, so I’ll leave the salt out of the “sauce” next time. It was a lot more filling than I expected; a single enchilada would have been loads for me.
Glad you enjoyed it!
The kids in my house loved this! I used spicy sausage and cooked some thick bacon and crumbled it in and on top!! Very very good thanks for the recipe!
That sounds delicious Heather! Way to go!
Could you make this and freeze u til you w Ted to use?
I haven’t tried freezing this one. I’m not sure if the tortillas will hold up well or become soggy after freezing.
I’ve made chicken enchiladas for dinner in advance and froze for later use. They come out great! The tortillas didn’t get soggy.
Thanks for sharing Fran! Glad these worked well, even straight out of the freezer!
Since there is only two of us, I cut the recipe in half. The cook time was not enough but I couldn’t tell the eggs were not completely cooked until I placed on dish. I microwaved for one minute to complete the process. Also, very salty, but a very pretty dish.
Thanks for the review, Clare!
This was awesome! My guests asked for the recipe it was so good! I made it Christmas morning (not overnight) and it was delicious!!
Great! I’m so glad it was a hit!
The picture doesn’t look like there is any egg in the finished dish. Could it possibly be soaked up completely by the tortillas?
Some of the egg mixture does soak up into the tortillas but it also fills them up and bakes inside the tortillas.
Can you use heavy whipping cream instead of half and half?
Half and Half is half milk and half whipping cream. I haven’t tested it with heavy whipping cream so I would do have heavy whipping cream and half milk, but I would think heavy whipping cream would be fine I just haven’t tried it. It’s going to give it a richer taste and be creamy is my guess.
Since I keep heavy cream on hand It’s what I use half Heavy cream half whole milk and yes it works just fine.
Great idea Paula!
I’m so excited to try this for our small family Christmas. Can I make it a few days ahead of time (2-3 days) without the tortillas getting soggy? Or can I freeze it?
I would freeze it. The night before you use it, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight and then bake.
Looks perfect for a change to Christmas morning!
Since you are using flour tortillas, do the tortillas get soggy at all?
They are soft like you would expect of bread in an egg bake.
In the picture what is on top other than bacon!? is it chopped green onions?
Yes! Chopped green onions!
Did you use breakfast sausage or regular sausage?
I used regular sausage.
I used jimmy dean breakfast sausage and applewood smoked real bacon bits! It was amazing
Sounds delicious!
