Ingredients
Scale
- 8 large eggs
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk or cream
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 lb (450 g) cooked breakfast sausage or bacon, crumbled
- 1/2 cup (75 g) diced bell peppers
- 1/2 cup (75 g) diced onions
- 2 cups (200 g) shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup (100 g) shredded Monterey Jack cheese (optional)
- 1/4 cup (30 g) chopped green onions (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Prepare the Egg Mixture:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
- Assemble the Layers:
- Place one tortilla on the bottom of the baking dish. Spread a layer of cooked sausage or bacon, followed by a sprinkle of diced bell peppers, onions, and cheese.
- Repeat the layers, ending with a tortilla on top. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layers, pressing down gently to ensure the tortillas absorb the liquid. Sprinkle the top with the remaining cheese.
- Bake:
- Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden.
- Cool and Serve:
- Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve warm.
Notes
- Use corn tortillas for a gluten-free option (lightly warm them to prevent cracking).
- Add salsa, jalapeños, or hot sauce for a spicy kick.
- Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
