Two tortillas filled with and egg mixture and topped with cheese on a white plate. The plate is on a purple napkin and there is a baking dish with more egg-filled tortillas in the background.

The egg mixture flows into the tortillas making each a perfect little bundle. They’re perfectly portioned and easy to serve for company – but they also reheat like a dream so you can make them for yourself and enjoy all week!

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 9×11″ pan with non-stick spray.
  • In a bowl, mix together the ham, peppers, onion, and 1 1/2 cups cheese.
  • Scoop about 1/3 cup ham mixture into a tortilla and roll up. Place in baking dish seem-side down.
  • Repeat with remaining tortillas.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, half and half, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Beat until thoroughly combined.
  • Pour the egg mixture evenly over the enchiladas.
  • Bake for 25 minutes, or until the egg is set. Top with cheese and bake for another 5 minutes, until the cheese is melted.
  • Top with diced green onions before serving.

This is a great make-ahead breakfast because it reheats so well.

It also freezes well! After you bake it, you can individually wrap each enchilada in plastic wrap and place them in a zipper freezer bag. They can then be pulled out individually for an easy breakfast – just unwrap and microwave.
