Ingredients
Gathering your ingredients is like preparing for a little adventure in your kitchen. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 8 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 8 flour tortillas (8-inch size)
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk (for the gravy)
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
Feel free to substitute the cheddar cheese with your favorite blend, or try turkey sausage for a lighter version. I love experimenting with different cheeses after attending various food festivals and discovering new flavors!
Instructions
Let’s dive into the fun part! Cooking is a dance of flavors and textures, and here’s how you can bring this dish to life:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- In a large skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Remove the sausage and set aside.
- In the same skillet, whisk together the eggs and 1/4 cup of milk, seasoning with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until softly scrambled, then remove from heat and set aside.
- To assemble the enchiladas, lay out the tortillas and evenly distribute the eggs, sausage, and 1 1/2 cups of cheese among them. Roll each tortilla tightly and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour, cooking for about 1 minute until golden brown.
- Gradually whisk in 2 cups of milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Add the black pepper, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir until the gravy thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
- Pour the country gravy over the enchiladas, covering them completely. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with chopped green onions before serving. Enjoy the warmth and comfort of a meal made with love!
