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!

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 🙂
Carol Vassello says
can this be made is a slow cooker ?
Julie says
I have never tried it, I think the best option is the oven for this one.
Lily says
How long is the initial cooking time… Is it 45 mins at 350 degrees and then an additional 15 mins when the rest of the cheese is added on top?
Julie Evink says
You bake it for 35 minutes covered and then uncovered for 10 minutes longer like stated in step 5.
Ann says
I would love to substitute rice for the tortillas. Will this work? The taste was fabulous but a lot of people don’t gluten.
Julie says
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!
Lynda says
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?
Julie Evink says
Yes just make them as the recipe states and right before cooking cover with foil instead and freeze!
Lisa says
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.
Julie Evink says
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.
linda says
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 …..
Julie Evink says
Great ideas! All nutrition will very greatly depending on the brand, etc that you pick for the recipe!
Jan schneider says
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.
Julie Evink says
So glad you enjoyed them!
Teresa says
I made it with Soyrizo and hashbrown. Potatoes in them……..EXCELLENT!!!!
Julie Evink says
Oooo that does sound like a delicious twist!!
Jennifer Clark says
How many is a serving for 555 kcal.? The recipe is for 8 enchiladas, but is that for each enchilada?
Julie Evink says
Per enchilada
Meat says
Why does this say overnight? There’s nothing overnight about this recipe
Julie Evink says
You can let the enchiladas rest overnight and bake them the next morning, henceforth the “overnight” like any overnight breakfast casserole.
Kim says
Read the recipe.
Laura says
Can I use milk or evaporated milk instead of half and half ?
Julie Evink says
I’m sorry I’m not sure as I’ve never tested it like that!
Diane Stene says
Absolutely yummy! Could have it for brunch or supper.
Julie Evink says
Yes it’s so versatile!
Connie says
Can you use ham instead of sausage for Breakfast Enchalidas?
Julie Evink says
Yes that should work just fine.
Ev says
Made these for Christmas morning. So good!
Julie Evink says
Perfect Christmas morning breakfast! So glad you enjoyed it!
