These delicious Overnight Breakfast Enchiladas are the perfect, easy breakfast recipes that are made the night before! I’m all for overnight breakfast casseroles. This is because I’m all about sleeping as long as possible every single morning. When I can prep breakfast the night ahead, stick it in the fridge and just pull it out and bake it the next morning it makes me want to do a happy dance. These Overnight Breakfast Enchiladas have flour tortillas loaded with sausage, bacon and cheese. Then they are covered with eggs and topped with more bacon and cheese!

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!

My husband is a big breakfast person; I am not (just coffee please). About once a month I make a pan of these for him and then freeze them individually wrapped in foil in a freezer bag. Voila! Everyone is happy. They really are that good. It is the best breakfast enchilada recipe I have found!!! Thanks so much.
Julie says
What a great idea!! Thanks Nancy, I’m so glad you love this recipe!
Rosalind Dudley says
I fixed the enchiladas for a birthday breakfast at my job. They were a hit! I used ground turkey and ground chorizo. The flavor was great.
Julie says
Awesome! I’m glad they were a hit!
Lisa says
May I put together on Thursday morning and bake on Friday ?
Julie says
Yes, that would be fine!
Audrey Harrell says
Hi: I have not tried this yet but it looks delicious. I dislike having to halve or quarter a recipie because I have to take time to figure out how much to use of each ingredient. I was very surprised to see that you have broken the ingredients down for the number of servings one would need. Love it. I will be looking for more of your recipies. Thank you
Julie says
Perfect! I hope you enjoy this one!
Luke says
Do I have have to adjust any other ingredients if I add 2 more eggs?
Julie says
No, it should be fine!
Dea says
First, let me start by saying this recipe is delicious! However, DO NOT MAKE & BAKE IMMEDIATELY! The first time we made this recipe we followed the directions exactly and it sat overnight and it was a hit. This morning we made it again and baked it after only having it sit only about 30 minutes and the flavor was still great but it was a mushy mess. I guess it’s true what they say, good things come to those who wait… and plan ahead 😉
Julie says
Thanks for posting your experiences, Dea! It definitely is better if left overnight, I’m so glad you enjoy this one!
Lashaun A Shepard says
Thank you so much for that information. I plan on making this for my son’s birthday. I want it to be a hit.
Julie says
I hope you enjoy it!
Barb says
The Nutrition Info looks odd. The “Serving: 2g” which doesn’t make sense. As the recipe is for 8 servings, not sure what the Nutrition Info is showing – for 1 enchilada?
Julie says
A serving is one enchilada. My nutritional info is an estimate at best!
Jan Broker says
Great tast and a pleasant change.
Patients is a virtue. You excell 😂
Some of these questions are ridiculous.
Julie says
Thanks Jan!
Anna says
Can I double the portion in the same baking pan? Or does it have to be two separate pans ?
Julie says
I would make it in two pans if you are planning to double it.
Ruth doerrruth. says
I am going to try it but only need a half of the recipe workthe same in taste?
Julie says
Halving the recipe should be fine!
Richard says
Good but we like a little more “enchilada” if your calling it that. We felt like it needed more south of the boarder flair to be called an “enchilada”.
Julie says
You could certainly add some peppers and onions if that would help and you can always play with the spices. Thanks for the review!
Rachel says
If I want to make it this morning, do I have to put it in the fridge or can I just make it and then bake it same time?
Julie says
You do not have to do the fridge option, you can move directly to step 5 and bake it immediately.
UnbornLivesMatter says
Can I replace half and half with almond milk?
UnbornLivesMatter says
By the way there is a typo in your instructions, it says four where it should say flour.
Julie says
Thanks for letting me know! Yes, replacing half and half with almond milk should be fine!
Renee says
Can you use heavy whipping cream instead of half and half?
Julie says
That should be fine!
Lauren says
Could you freeze the tortillas after they are rolled but before you put the extra cheese on them?
Julie says
I haven’t tried freezing with this one, I don’t know if the tortillas will get soggy or not after being frozen. If you try it out, let me know how it goes!
Jen says
Is there a audit Ute for half half or milk . Lactose so looking for options .
Julie says
You could probably use regular almond milk in place of the half and half. Use the same amount, 2 cups.
Trina says
Can you use 2% or whole milk?
Julie says
If you do use milk, I would do whole milk. I think that will work, it just won’t be quick as thick.
