These babies are so GOOD! We love all the creamy cheese sauce that is used in them. There is just so much comfort in this comfort food!! Make for dinner or breakfast either way they are just AWESOME! My crew swipes their fingers in the empty dish to make sure they get every last drop! I don't serve these with nothing else just all by their self because they just hit the spot on so many levels LOL

How to Make Breakfast Enchiladas
- 1CHEESE SAUCE: Start with making your cheese sauce first
- 2Melt 1/3 butter in heavy pan
- 3Add 1/3 cups flour and whisk on medium low heat for 3 - 4 minutes (this takes the raw flour taste out)
- 4Slowly add 3 cups of milk and whisk well to combine
- 5Let cook on medium low heat until thick and creamy
- 6Slowly stir in 2 cups of shredded cheese. Stir until all is melted and creamy.
- 7Add 1 can undrained fire roasted (or regular) Green Chilies and fold together.
- 8Let simmer for 5 minutes on low stirring a few times and remove from heat.
- 9ENCHILADAS
- 10Brown sausage. Cook until no longer pink. Drain grease and rinse sausage to remove any left in grease. Remove to a plate or bowl.
- 11In same pan melt 2 tbs of butter and cook green onions and cilantro for 5 minutes on medium low heat. After 5 minutes reduce heat to low.
- 12In a large bowl beat 1 dozen (12) eggs together well. Add salt and pepper and mix together.
- 13Pour beaten eggs in pan with green onions and cilantro and cook slowly. Letting eggs set and fold eggs easily. The eggs should be cooked into larger chunks not a small scramble. Cook until almost done (still moist)
- 14To egg mixture add 1 cup of cheese sauce but do not stir.
Add sausage to pan.
Add 1 more cup of cheese sauce and fold eggs and sausage together gently. - 15Open and microwave heat flour tortillas for 35 seconds to soften them.
- 16Pre-heat oven to 350 degree.
- 17Prepare a 9x13 baking dish or larger by spreading about 1/2 cup of the cheese sauce in the bottom
- 18Place roughly 1/3 cup egg and sausage mixture down center or tortilla (I add about 2 tbs of extra cheddar cheese to my tortilla before I roll it up) Fold side closet to you over mixture and roll tortilla. Place seam side down in prepared baking dish. Repeat until all filling is used or you run out of tortillas (I often get 12 of them)
- 19Pour remaining cheese sauce over enchiladas spreading it evenly over them. Top with shredded pepper jack cheese or cheese of your choice.
- 20Bake in pre-heated oven for 30 minutes or until cheese sauce is bubbly. Remove to wire wrack and let cool for 15 or more minutes.
- 21Top with toppings and serve. I like to serve with taco sauce or with salsa and sour cream.
- 22I hope you enjoy these as much as me and my family do :)
