Southern Breakfast Enchiladas with Sausage Gravy 🍳🌯😋


  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. 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.
  3. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese evenly over the top of the rolled enchiladas.

4. Make the Sausage Gravy

  1. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1–2 minutes to create a roux.
  2. Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens (about 5–7 minutes).
  3. Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Add reserved cooked sausage if desired for extra flavor.
  4. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

5. Bake the Enchiladas

  1. Pour the warm sausage gravy evenly over the assembled enchiladas.
  2. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the edges are golden brown.

6. Garnish and Serve

  1. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
  2. Garnish with chopped parsley or green onions, extra cheese, or a drizzle of hot sauce or salsa if desired.
  3. Serve warm and enjoy!

Serving Suggestions

  • For Brunch: Pair with fresh fruit, biscuits, or a side salad for a complete meal.
  • At Gatherings: Bring to potlucks or holiday brunches—it’s always a hit!
  • With Extras: Top with sour cream, pico de gallo, or avocado slices for added freshness.
  • Meal Prep: Assemble the enchiladas ahead of time, cover, and refrigerate overnight. Bake just before serving.

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.
