Step 1

Start by browning your sausage in a skillet over medium heat. Once fully cooked, sprinkle in the flour and stir to coat the meat. Cook for a minute, then slowly pour in the milk while stirring (channel your inner Southern grandma here). Let it simmer for about 5 minutes until thickened, then season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder if you’re feeling fancy.

Step 2

Whisk the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Melt butter in a skillet and pour in the egg mixture. Cook them gently until they’re just set—you want them soft since they’ll continue baking later.

Step 3

Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9×13″ baking dish. Fill each tortilla with scrambled eggs, potatoes (if using), green onions, and a sprinkle of cheese. Roll them up and nestle them seam-side down in the dish.

Step 4

Pour your warm, savory gravy all over the enchiladas. Don’t be shy—this is the heart and soul of this comfort food breakfast. Sprinkle on a little extra cheese if you like your mornings cheesy (no judgment here).

Step 5

Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Uncover and bake for another 5–10 minutes until bubbly and golden around the edges.

Step 6

Garnish with more green onions and serve with hot sauce, fresh fruit, or even a little sour cream if that’s your jam.
