Ingredients

• 8 large eggs
• 0.5 pound breakfast sausage
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 8 flour tortillas
• 2 cups red enchilada sauce
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 green onions (chopped)
• 2 tablespoons cilantro (chopped, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease and set aside.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

In the same skillet, heat the butter over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook gently, stirring frequently, until the eggs are softly scrambled. Remove from heat.

Step 5

Stir the cooked sausage and 3/4 cup of shredded cheese into the scrambled eggs.

Step 6

Spoon about 1/3 cup of the egg mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Roll each tortilla tightly and place it seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.

Step 7

Pour the red enchilada sauce evenly over the enchiladas, making sure they are fully covered.

Step 8

Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top of the enchiladas.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is melted.

Step 10

Remove the enchiladas from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with chopped green onions and cilantro if desired.

Step 11

Serve warm and enjoy!
