Well, let me tell you – this breakfast enchilada recipe is going to be your new favorite. It’s easy to prepare the night before as well, so pop it in the fridge and pull it out the next morning to have a yummy homemade breakfast ready to feed your people.

*Ingredients*

• 8 tortillas or so
• 12 large eggs
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 cup (or more) shredded cheese (I use the mexican cheese blends)
• 1/2 pound sausage, browned and crumbled
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 2 cups whole milk
• 1/2 cup salsa verde
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
• 1/4 teaspoon cumin
• 5 strips bacon cooked and crumbled (optional)
• 1/2 cup diced avocado (optional)
• 3 stalks green onion, sliced thinly (optional)
• 1/2 cup grape tomatoes, halved (optional)

*Directions*

1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. In a large bowl, whisk eggs with milk. Add salt. Pour the beaten eggs into a grated saucepan and cook on medium heat, stirring occasionally until they are scrambled, but still fairly moist. Set aside.
3. If you want to add sausage (I always do, it makes it even better) to the filling, brown it over medium heat in a separate pan as you are scrambling the eggs. Then, remove it from the heat and set aside.
4. Whisk the butter and flour together over medium high heat in a medium sized pan to make the cheese sauce. After whisking the butter and flour into a paste, continue to cook for one to two minutes whisking continuously. Gradually whisk in the milk and bring to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally. When the sauce has thickened a little, add the salsa verde, spice, and cheese. Stir together until smooth. Remove from heat and set aside.
5. When the eggs, sausage, and cheese sauce are ready, lay out the tortillas and divide the eggs, sausage, and 1 cup shredded cheese evenly between 8 tortillas. Spread 1/2 cup of the cheese sauce on the bottom of the greased 9X13 pan. Roll the tortillas up and place them seam side down in the baking dish.
6. Pour the remaining cheese sauce over the top of the tortillas and then sprinkle with more cheese. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the edges of the tortillas are golden brown and cheese is bubbly in the center.
7. Remove the pan from the oven, and add whatever toppings you’d like.
