6 large eggs
-
1¼ cups half-and-half

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

½ teaspoon kosher salt (plus more to taste)

Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
-
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the sausage until fully cooked. Drain excess fat. Transfer sausage to a medium bowl.
-
Stir salsa, ¾ cup cheddar, and ¼ cup Monterey Jack into the sausage.
-
In the same skillet, heat potatoes until warmed through. Add to the sausage mixture and stir to combine.
-
Spoon ⅛ of the filling into the center of each tortilla, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, half-and-half, flour, and salt until smooth. Pour evenly over the tortillas.
-
Sprinkle remaining ¾ cup cheddar and ¼ cup Monterey Jack over the top.
-
Cover with foil and bake for 35 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 10 minutes, or until set and cheese is melted.
-
Add desired toppings and serve warm.
Notes
-
For overnight prep, assemble enchiladas and pour egg mixture over them, then cover and refrigerate overnight. Bake as directed in the morning.
-
Use pepper jack cheese for extra spice.
-
Let the casserole rest for 5–10 minutes before serving for cleaner slices.
-
Want extra crunch? Sprinkle crumbled bacon over the cheese before baking.
