Southern Breakfast Enchiladas take everything people love about classic comfort food and wrap it into one warm, irresistible dish. With soft flour tortillas filled with fluffy scrambled eggs, savory breakfast sausage, and melty cheese, these enchiladas deliver a hearty, satisfying start to the day. What truly sets them apart is the rich, creamy sausage gravy poured generously over the top, turning a simple breakfast into a soul-warming Southern feast.
The filling is simple yet packed with flavor. Scrambled eggs provide a soft, tender base, while the browned sausage adds a savory, seasoned bite that pairs beautifully with the cheese. Once rolled into tortillas and nestled into the baking dish, the enchiladas are ready for their signature topping: a velvety gravy made with milk, butter, flour, and a blend of spices. It’s thick, flavorful, and exactly the kind of comfort you want in a morning meal.
Baking the enchiladas gives them a lightly toasted exterior while the gravy bubbles into the edges, creating a unified dish where every bite is creamy, hearty, and satisfying. A sprinkle of fresh parsley adds a touch of brightness, balancing the richness of the gravy. These enchiladas make a standout brunch centerpiece, a weekend family favorite, or a make-ahead breakfast for busy mornings.
