Filling
- 8 flour tortillas (soft taco size)
- 1 lb breakfast sausage (or turkey sausage)
- 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
- 8 large eggs
- ½ cup milk
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Sauce
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup
- ½ cup sour cream
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp onion powder
Optional Toppings
- Green onions
- Salsa
- Avocado
- Jalapeños
- Cook Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and crumbly. Drain excess fat and set the sausage aside.
- Prepare Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper. Scramble the egg mixture in a skillet over medium heat until they are just set but still moist. Stir in half of the shredded cheddar cheese to melt into the eggs.
- Assemble Tortillas: Lay out each flour tortilla and evenly fill them with the scrambled eggs and cooked sausage mixture. Roll up each tortilla and place them seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
- Make Sauce: In a separate bowl, combine the cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup with sour cream, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix thoroughly to form a creamy sauce.
- Top Enchiladas: Pour the creamy sauce evenly over the filled tortillas in the baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese on top.
- Bake in Oven: For oven preparation, bake the dish uncovered at 350°F (175°C) for 25–30 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
- Instant Pot Method: Alternatively, place the baking dish on a trivet inside the Instant Pot with 1 cup of water beneath. Cover the dish tightly with foil and pressure cook on high for 10 minutes, then use quick release to finish.
- Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, garnish the brunch bake with optional toppings such as chopped green onions, salsa, sliced avocado, or jalapeños to add fresh flavor and a bit of heat.
Notes
- You can substitute turkey sausage for a leaner option.
- Adjust the spice level by adding jalapeños or hot sauce to the filling if desired.
- Use cream of chicken soup for a milder flavor or cream of mushroom for a richer taste.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the microwave or oven.
- This dish freezes well; thaw before reheating.
