Heavenly Cheese Sauced Breakfast Enchiladas
The only thing I can really say about this recipe is that it is exactly as described; Heavenly.
Although this is an arduous recipe, it’s 100% worth it and then some. It’s so damn delicious and it’s just as good reheated.
1/2 Lb Hot Jimmy Dean Sausage
1 Jalapeño seeded and diced
1/4 Red Bell Pepper diced
1/4 Green Bell Pepper diced
1/4 Yellow Onion diced
1/2 Poblano diced
2 Green Onions sliced thinly
1 Tbs Cilantro chopped
7 Eggs beaten until frothy with some Mayo
Flour Tortillas
Cheese Sauce Can or Homemade Cheese Sauce
1 Cup Cheddar shredded
4 oz Can Green Chilis
Paprika Shakes
Chili Powder Shakes
Spices
Butter
Breakfast Salsa Sauce for garnish
Step one is to make the Cheese Sauce or heat up a can in a saucepan on the stove. Keep it on melt once it’s finished.
Step two is to sauté the Onions, Green Chili Can, and all the Peppers with some Butter in a skillet for a few minutes before adding the Garlic. Once those are nice and soft and done, empty the skillet into a large bowl.
In the same skillet, place the Jimmy Dean Sausage and cook it until blackened. Once it’s good, throw it in the same bowl as the Peppers and Onions. It’s now important to turn down the skillet to the lowest setting.
It’s Egg time! Make sure to have the skillet not too hot because it’s super important to slow cook the Eggs. Throw some more Butter in the skillet and sauté the Green Onions and Cilantro for a minute or two. Next, pour in the Eggs and let them be for a bit.
It’s important to keep a good eye on the Eggs. Don’t stir constantly but don’t let them burn or get too dry either. Make sure to scrape the bottom of the skillet and flip the moist Eggs every now and then. But again, don’t stir constantly. At the end, they should be nice and moist and wonderful. Once they’re done, toss ‘em in the big bowl with everythin’ else. Oh! And turn on the oven to 350°.
In that big ole bowl of goodies, pour in about 1 Cup of the Cheese Sauce and gently fold it all in together and mix it nice and good. Once the mixture is complete, spoon a good amount into each tortilla before placing them seam side down in a greased baking dish.
When the baking dish is full of overflowing enchiladas, pour a healthy amount of Cheese Sauce over the entire dish. Then sprinkle the Cheddar over all of that*.
Once you’ve topped it all and it looks ready to be consumed, throw it in that 350° oven and let it bake for 30 minutes. Then, welcome to heaven on earth.
*This dish is infinitely versatile. If I have leftover filling, I either eat it right then or I pour it over the top before I add the Cheese Sauce. You can also add skillet Potatoes to the Enchilada Mix. Or you can top the entire thing with crumbled Bacon. You can add Green Chilis to the topping or the Enchilada Mix or both! You can do whatever you want! And don’t forget to add a few sliced Jalapeños and Spices to the top as well. You cannot go wrong at all.
