Description
When mornings call for something hearty, warm, and undeniably satisfying, Country Gravy Breakfast Enchiladas come to the rescue.
Ingredients
- 8 large flour tortillas
- 10 large eggs
- ½ cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 pound breakfast sausage or chopped bacon (cooked)
- 1 (2.75 oz) packet country gravy mix (or 2 cups homemade country gravy)
- 1 tablespoon butter (for scrambling eggs)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped green onions (optional garnish)
- Fresh parsley or cilantro (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
In a skillet, cook the breakfast sausage (or bacon) until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat and set aside.
Step 2: Scramble the Eggs
In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the eggs and cook gently until just set (they will cook more in the oven). Remove from heat.
Step 3: Assemble the Enchiladas
Lay a tortilla flat and spoon a portion of scrambled eggs, sausage, and both cheeses into the center. Roll up tightly and place seam-side down in a greased baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
Step 4: Make the Gravy
Prepare country gravy according to package directions (or use homemade). Once thickened, pour evenly over the enchiladas in the baking dish.
Step 5: Bake or Pressure Cook
Oven Method: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25–30 minutes until heated through and bubbly.
Instant Pot Method: Add 1 cup of water to the Instant Pot insert. Place the baking dish or a foil sling in the pot. Use the “Pressure Cook” setting on high for 10 minutes. Quick release and carefully remove.
Step 6: Add Toppings and Serve
Sprinkle with chopped green onions or parsley. Serve hot, and enjoy with your favorite sides.
Notes
- Slightly undercook the scrambled eggs—they’ll finish cooking in the oven.
- Use freshly shredded cheese for a better melt and flavor.
- Warm tortillas slightly before rolling to prevent cracking.
