Hi friends! Today we are here to share with you, our new brunch obsession… Breakfast Enchiladas!
Jump to:
These breakfast enchiladas are inspired by the classic Christmas morning wife saver. I, for one, love Christmas morning wife saver, so eating it only once a year is just not an option for me.
My husband, on the other hand, is not the biggest fan of the original because the bread is kind of soft in the original version.
So, I had a mission. I needed to create my favourite breakfast casserole, but it couldn't have soggy bread. BAM, these breakfast enchiladas were born.
They are SO GOOD.
I stuck as close to my original wife saver recipe as possible, but of course substituted the bread for flour tortillas and added some scrambled eggs.
These are the homemade flour tortillas that I used in this recipe. They are homemade and taste great! But regular flour tortillas from the grocery store will work for this recipe, too!
Ingredients To Make Breakfast Enchiladas
A full list of ingredients with quantities can be found on the printable recipe card below.
How To Make Breakfast Enchiladas
First things first, preheat your oven to 375°F and spray a 9"x13" casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray or grease it with melted butter.
Prepare the breakfast sausages, scrambled eggs, and shredded cheese.
Assemble the enchiladas by laying the tortillas out on a large surface.
Place one slice of ham in the center of each tortilla. Divide the scrambled egg, breakfast sausage and 2 cups of shredded cheese by the 10 tortillas, and place on top of the ham slice.
Roll the tortillas up and place them one by one into the prepared casserole dish.

How To Make The "Enchilada" Sauce
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the eggs, milk, worcestershire sauce, and dijon mustard, and whisk to combine.
Pour the prepared sauce over the top of the enchiladas in the casserole dish.
Top with the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheese.
Cornflake Topping
The cornflake topping is the best part!
In a small bowl, combine the crushed cornflakes and the melted butter, using a fork, toss to combine. Then, sprinkle the cornflake topping on top of the entire casserole, spreading evenly.
Bake for 30 minutes until set and serve immediately.
Storage
Leftovers will keep for 3-4 days refrigerated in an airtight container. Reheat by placing the desired amount on a baking sheet and baking at 350°F for 10 minutes. Alternatively, you can just pop them in the microwave and heat them up that way, too.
I hope you loved these breakfast enchiladas as much as we do, and I hope you and your families are staying safe and happy during these times.

I saved this to my favourites on FoodGawker ages ago and haven’t made it yet but I want to! Question for you though. Do you think the recipe would work with corn tortillas, like traditional enchiladas? No worries if not, I’m just curious. Let me know your thoughts.
Thanks!

Hi there! I don't think that using corn tortillas would work for this recipe... The reason being is the flour tortillas will absorb some of the egg mixture and still hold together, I am not sure that corn tortillas would hold up with the amount of moisture in the egg mixture. I would love to know what you think when you get the chance to try this recipe! 😃

That makes sense. Thanks for your help! I’ll comment back when I get a chance to try it 🙂
