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!

Could you use heavy whipping cream in place of the half and half?
Courtney says
You could, your sauce may just be a little thicker!
Kim McWhorter says
There isn’t much flavor besides sausage in this. We chose to “spice it up” by adding salsa and sour cream
Alona says
I am going to use carb smart tortillas it looks real good.
shayne dowdell says
Heavy cream in place of the half and half?
Peggie says
I LOVE this recipe!!! I normally do not eat sausage, but I really like it in this recipe.
Sandy says
Looks delicious, but can you substitute 2% low-fat milk for the half and half?
Courtney says
Yes you can!
Anne says
As always with your recipes totally outstanding.
Julie Evink says
You are to sweet! So glad you enjoyed these, they are a family favorite. Thanks for commenting and rating the recipe!
Nancy says
Great recipe. Have made this several times and it’s always a crowd pleaser. Such a nice variation from the standard eggs & potatoes & cheese breakfast casserole. I usually add a small can of diced green chilis for a little bit of heat. This recipe is a keeper!
Angela says
Is this eggy? My 20 yo son hates eggs and won’t eat breakfast casseroles because of them. I’m looking for something that he won’t know has eggs. Thank you for this recipe. I will use it for my husband and I for certain.
Courtney says
There are eggs in the recipe but I guess they are hidden a little with the tortillas, cheese and sausage.
Val says
Angela, I have a similar eater, and there’s a recipe at https://thefoodcharlatan.com/easy-breakfast-casserole-with-potatoes-and-ham-2/ which is not eggy textured or eggy tasting at all. The key is using shredded hash browns and pre-baking them, which dries them out and lets them absorb the egg mixture. The recipe also calls for mascarpone, which further hides the taste and texture of the eggs.
Debra says
You mention this recipe calls for mascarpone but it’s not included in the recipe.
Patty Knill says
Fake bacon bits 👎
Courtney says
You can definitely cook and cut up real bacon. Bacon bits were used for convenience purposes.
Val says
Seriously you’re rating the recipe a 1 because you don’t like of one of the ingredients? If you don’t like fake bacon, don’t use it.
Terri says
Love these!
Tamara says
I replaced the bacon with a fried potatoe and it was delicious! Will make again!
