Southern Breakfast Enchiladas with Sausage Gravy Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Filling:

  • 6 large eggs

  • 1/4 cup milk

  • Salt & pepper to taste

  • 1 tbsp butter

  • 1 cup cooked breakfast sausage (crumbled or chopped)

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

  • 6 flour tortillas (8-inch)

For the Sausage Gravy:

  • 1/2 lb breakfast sausage

  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour

  • 2 ½ cups whole milk

  • Salt & black pepper to taste

  • Pinch of cayenne (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Scramble the eggs: In a bowl, whisk eggs with milk, salt, and pepper. In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat and scramble eggs until just set. Stir in cooked sausage and half the shredded cheese. Set aside.

  2. Assemble the enchiladas: Spoon egg mixture into each tortilla, roll them up, and place seam-side down in a greased baking dish.

  3. Make the sausage gravy: In a skillet, cook sausage until browned. Sprinkle in flour and stir to coat the meat. Gradually whisk in the milk. Simmer until thickened (about 5–7 minutes), and season to taste.

  4. Top and bake: Pour gravy over the rolled enchiladas, sprinkle remaining cheese on top, and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15–20 minutes until bubbly.

  5. Garnish and serve: Top with fresh chives, green onions, or a dash of hot sauce if desired.
