Equipment

Method
 

  1. Brown the ground breakfast sausage in a large skillet until fully cooked and fragrant.
  2. Remove about half of the cooked sausage from the skillet and set aside for the gravy.
  3. In the same skillet, melt butter, whisk in flour and cook briefly to form a roux.
  4. Slowly pour in milk or cream, whisking constantly until gravy thickens; add salt, pepper, and paprika to taste.
  5. Warm the flour tortillas so they bend without cracking.
  6. Place scrambled or fried eggs, optional spinach, and shredded cheese into each tortilla; roll up tightly.
  7. Arrange rolled enchiladas in a baking dish and pour the warm sausage gravy over the top.
  8. Top with extra cheese if desired and bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C (350 °F) for about 15 minutes until bubbly.
  9. Serve hot with your favorite breakfast sides.
