Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
  • In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and crumbly, breaking it apart with a spatula. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside, leaving the grease in the pan.
  • To make the sausage gravy, add the flour to the skillet with the sausage grease and whisk until combined, forming a roux. Slowly pour in the 2 cups of whole milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Cook the gravy over medium heat until thickened, about 5-7 minutes. Season with black pepper, salt, and garlic powder. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and 1/4 cup milk. Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a separate skillet over medium heat. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and scramble the eggs until just set, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Lay out each tortilla and fill with a scoop of scrambled eggs, a sprinkle of cheddar cheese, and a portion of the cooked sausage. Roll the tortillas tightly and place them seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
  • Pour the sausage gravy evenly over the rolled tortillas, ensuring they are fully covered. Sprinkle the Monterey Jack cheese on top of the gravy.
  • Bake the enchiladas in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Remove the enchiladas from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm.

Notes

You can substitute Monterey Jack cheese with mozzarella or another mild cheese. For a spicier version, add diced jalapeños to the filling.
