- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Place a spoonful of the egg-sausage mixture onto each tortilla, roll them up tightly, and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
- Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese evenly over the top of the rolled enchiladas.
4. Make the Sausage Gravy
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1–2 minutes to create a roux.
- Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens (about 5–7 minutes).
- Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Add reserved cooked sausage if desired for extra flavor.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
5. Bake the Enchiladas
- Pour the warm sausage gravy evenly over the assembled enchiladas.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the edges are golden brown.
6. Garnish and Serve
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
- Garnish with chopped parsley or green onions, extra cheese, or a drizzle of hot sauce or salsa if desired.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Serving Suggestions
- For Brunch: Pair with fresh fruit, biscuits, or a side salad for a complete meal.

Pro Tips for Success
- Use Quality Tortillas: Flour tortillas hold up better than corn tortillas for this dish.
- Don’t Overfill: Be careful not to overstuff the tortillas to prevent them from tearing.
- Add Heat: Include diced jalapeños or a dash of cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
- Double the Gravy: Make extra sausage gravy to serve on the side for dipping or drizzling.
