Equipment

  • 9 x 13 baking dish
  • medium mixing bowl
  • skillet

Ingredients

  • 1 lb breakfast sausage, bacon, or ham (fully cooked, browned and crumbled)
  • 8 medium flour tortillas
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper
  • 1/8 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 1/2 cups half & half
  • 1/4 green bell pepper & red bell pepper, diced
  • 1/4 onion or green onions, diced small

Instructions

  • Lay out tortillas. Place 2 TBS of cooked sausage in center of tortilla in a line. Sprinkle with shredded cheese. Roll tortilla up over the sausage to the other end.
  • Place rolled tortillas in a greased 9 x 13 baking dish seam side down. Roll the rest of tortillas with sausage and cheese. This recipe generally makes 8 enchiladas in one 9 x 13 baking dish. (You can certainly double this recipe and use 2 baking dishes.)
  • In a medium bowl whisk together eggs, half & half, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Pour all over the enchiladas in the baking dish.
  • Sprinkle the tops of the enchiladas with shredded cheese. Sprinkle diced green & red bell peppers and the green onions. Sprinkle with just a little bit more cheese. (Try not to cover up the peppers as they give a christmasy look to the casserole.
  • Cover with foil tightly. Place in 350 degree preheated oven for 40-45 minutes. Remove foil and place back in oven for an additional 10 minutes to finish cooking eggs and browning cheese. (Eggs should be set and not loose. If they are still a little loose, bake a few more minutes until set.)
  • Remove from oven, and allow to rest for a few minutes. Enjoy.
