A few of my other favorite make ahead breakfast casseroles are Sausage & Cheese Hash Brown Breakfast Casserole and Biscuits and Gravy Overnight Breakfast Casserole! Both of these are overnight breakfast casseroles so Mom can sleep a little bit longer. Trust me, this makes the entire family happy and they still get their breakfast made!

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!

Can I make this ahead of time and serve it 48 hours later? – or is it best within 24 hrs?
I would serve it within 24 hours if possible. I think it would be ok to freeze if you make it up ahead of time too!
Made these this morning, awesome thank you for sharing!
You’re welcome!
These look sooooo yummmmm and perfect for family brunch. I love how easy it is to make them.
It’s the perfect brunch that you can prep the night before!
My mother in law is gluten free (she has celiac) do you think I could soft fry some corn tortillas and use those instead like traditional enchiladas? I don’t think the egg will absorb into the tortillas as well but what the heck I’ll give it a try and let you know?
I think it would work, might be a little different than the flour tortillas, but not horrific or anything! Let me know how it goes!
What do you substitute for the flour in the sauce?
I’m sure by now you have figured something out but some stores do have gluten free tortillas. Although I only know of the store Winco. I’m gluten intolerant and have to substitute things too at times.
Made these for Christmas morning. So good!
Perfect Christmas morning breakfast! So glad you enjoyed it!
Can you use ham instead of sausage for Breakfast Enchalidas?
Yes that should work just fine.
Absolutely yummy! Could have it for brunch or supper.
Yes it’s so versatile!
Can I use milk or evaporated milk instead of half and half ?
I’m sorry I’m not sure as I’ve never tested it like that!
Why does this say overnight? There’s nothing overnight about this recipe
You can let the enchiladas rest overnight and bake them the next morning, henceforth the “overnight” like any overnight breakfast casserole.
Read the recipe.
How many is a serving for 555 kcal.? The recipe is for 8 enchiladas, but is that for each enchilada?
Per enchilada
I made it with Soyrizo and hashbrown. Potatoes in them……..EXCELLENT!!!!
Oooo that does sound like a delicious twist!!
Having 3 teenage kids for breakfast every morning, this was amazingly easy and yummy.
I used burrito wraps and filled them with more meat mixture. Awfully quiet at the table this morning.
Thanks for a quick and easy recipe, I will be making this again.
So glad you enjoyed them!
Where is all the sodium coming from? That number is just a little short of what I can have all day. How can I fix that.
I’m assuming the sausage and bacon are the main sources of the sodium. Not sure how you can fix that exactly as I’m not a dietitian.
cheese, sausage, bacon, tortilla ; I have to read labels, low sodium items depending on what they are can be higher in sodium. Some cheeses are lower in sodium than others, so you can switch that out, and use turkey sausage …..
Great ideas! All nutrition will very greatly depending on the brand, etc that you pick for the recipe!
I love this recipe! I have added pablano peppers and mushrooms to the sausage. Can these be frozen? If so, would you freeze them after you add the egg mixture or before?
Yes just make them as the recipe states and right before cooking cover with foil instead and freeze!
I would love to substitute rice for the tortillas. Will this work? The taste was fabulous but a lot of people don’t gluten.
That sounds like a yummy gluten free option but I have never tried that with this recipe. If you do try it, let us know how it turns out!
can this be made is a slow cooker ?
I have never tried it, I think the best option is the oven for this one.
here we go in my work they put me something easy and fast and I found your recipe I hope you like it thanks for sharing greetings 🙂
