INGREDIENTS

→ For the enchiladas:

01 6 large flour tortillas
02 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
03 6 large eggs
04 60ml whole milk
05 Salt to taste
06 Freshly ground black pepper to taste
07 120g sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
08 60g Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
09 120g cooked breakfast potatoes or hashbrowns (optional)
10 2 green onions, thinly sliced

→ For the sausage gravy:

11 225g pork breakfast sausage
12 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
13 360ml whole milk
14 Salt to taste
15 Freshly ground black pepper to taste
16 ¼ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

STEPS

1) Heat a skillet over medium heat and add your sausage, breaking it apart as it cooks until it's nicely browned and fully cooked. Sprinkle the flour over the sausage and stir until everything's evenly coated. Cook for about a minute, stirring constantly. Gradually add the milk while stirring continuously to prevent any lumps from forming. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes until it thickens beautifully. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder if you're using it, then keep it warm.

2) In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined. Melt butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat, then pour in your egg mixture. Cook gently, stirring frequently, until the eggs are just set but still creamy. Remove from heat immediately.

3) Preheat your oven to 190°C and lightly grease a 33x23cm baking dish. Lay out each tortilla and fill with scrambled eggs, cooked potatoes if you're using them, green onions, and a generous mix of both cheeses. Roll each tortilla tightly and place them seam-side down in your prepared baking dish.

4) Pour your delicious sausage gravy evenly over the enchiladas. If you want extra cheesy goodness, sprinkle some additional cheese on top. Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for another 5-10 minutes until everything's hot and bubbly.

5) Sprinkle with more sliced green onions and serve immediately while everything's nice and hot. These pair wonderfully with hot sauce on the side or some fresh fruit for a complete breakfast feast!
