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!

Going to ask a dumb question, if it makes 10 enchiladas, how come you only use 8 tortillas?

This sounds delicious, but why not use real bacon…the bacon bits are terrible…..but for sure I will not be using bacon bits…..even the real bacon bits are no where as good as frying fresh bacon and crumble it up……
Julie Evink says
You can totally use real bacon, I was looking for a short cut for myself.
Donna says
Just wondering if I could make this with soft corn tortillas instead of flour to make it gluten free? They are a little softer though so would they get too soggy?
Julie Evink says
I can’t say for sure because I’ve never did it but I’d say to give it a shot!
Tonia says
I already ate breakfast and now I want these! Maybe tomorrow morning?
Julie Evink says
For sure Tonia!

Not an egg fan huh? Neither am I and the hubby loves eggs…not a match made in heaven 🙂
Stephanie @ Macaroni and Cheesecake says
This sounds like a great breakfast! I’m not big on egg casseroles but this sounds right up my alley! I’ve had a dry scratchy throat this week and now everything is draining too. Ugh! Hope you feel better!
Julie says
Neither am I! I’m so picky when it comes to them, but this one I actually liked.

OH WOW!!! These are so very yummy looking! Pinning for sure! Thank you for sharing!
Are they freezable? Good either way but I love prepping ahead!
Julie says
I’m not sure they’d be freezable. I’d worry about the eggs freezing and thawing correctly. If you try it let me know!
