Ingredients
  

Filling Ingredients
  • 6 large large eggs
  • 1 lb crumbled sausage
  • 1 cup hash browns
  • 2 cups shredded cheese
  • 4 pieces tortillas
Gravy Ingredients
  • 0.5 lb sausage for gravy
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk
Seasonings
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Black pepper
  • to taste Smoked paprika
  • optional Chili powder or ground cumin

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly oil a small baking dish.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the crumbled sausage until browned and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to transfer it to a bowl, draining any excess fat.
  3. In the same skillet, add the hash browns and cook until golden and crisp.
  4. Whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. In a clean nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, pour the eggs and scramble gently until just set. Remove from heat.
Making the Gravy
  1. Return a skillet to medium heat and brown the sausage for the gravy. Sprinkle in the flour and cook for 30–60 seconds.
  2. Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth and let simmer until thickened. Season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
Assembly
  1. Warm the tortillas briefly to prevent cracking. Divvy the scrambled eggs, sausage, hash browns, and half of the shredded cheese among the tortillas.
  2. Roll each tightly and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
  3. Pour the sausage gravy evenly over the enchiladas, sprinkle with remaining cheese, and bake for 15–20 minutes until bubbly.
  4. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Keep eggs slightly underdone to stay moist in the oven. Use plant-based sausage and dairy-free cheese for adaptations. Pair with acidic sides to balance the richness.
