Breakfast Enchiladas
Makes 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 (1-pound) package ground hot pork sausage
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 10 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 (4.5-ounce) can chopped green chiles, undrained
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- Cheese Sauce, divided (recipe follows)
- 8 (8-inch) flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese with peppers
- Toppings: fresh jalapeno slices, salsa, chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- In a 12-inch cast-iron skillet, cook sausage over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until browned and crumbly, 7 to 9 minutes. Remove from pan; drain well.
- In a large nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add eggs, green chiles, salt, pepper, and cumin; cook, without stirring, until eggs begin to set on bottom. Draw a spatula across bottom of pan to form large curds. Continue to cook until eggs are thickened but still moist. (Do not stir constantly.) Remove from heat, and gently fold in 1½ cups Cheese Sauce and sausage.
- Spoon about ½ cup egg mixture down center of each tortilla; roll up. Place seam side down in a lightly greased 12-inch cast-iron skillet. Pour remaining Cheese Sauce over tortillas; sprinkle with Monterey Jack.
- Bake until sauce is bubbly, about 30 minutes. Serve with desired toppings.
