by Merry on December 24, 2010

A great recipe to make the night before!

Overnight Breakfast Enchiladas

2 cups ground ham
1/2 cup chopped green onions
1/2 cup finely chopped bell peppers
2 Tbsp oil
12 – 14 corn or flour tortillas
2 1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese (divided)
4 eggs
2 cups 2% milk
1 Tbsp flour
1/4 tsp garlic powder
2-3 drops hot sauce

Spray large casserole dish (11X17) with cooking spray.

Saute ham, onion and peppers in oil until onions & pepper are soft.

If you are using corn tortillas….microwave in a damp paper towel for ~1 minute or until soft & pliable.

Fill each tortilla with 2-3 Tbsp of filling and top with cheese (about another 2 Tbsp).  Roll and place seam side down in casserole dish.  Continue until pan is full.

In a large bowl beat eggs.  Add milk, flour, garlic powder & hot sauce.  Mix well.

Pour over enchiladas & cover with plastic wrap.  Refrigerate overnight.

Remove enchiladas from the refrigerator 30 minutes prior to baking.  Remove plastic wrap before baking!

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Bake enchiladas for 45-50 minutes or until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Sprinkle with a bit of additional cheese and let stand for 5 minutes before serving.  Serve with salsa and sour cream.

Serves 6 to 8

Recipe Notes: This recipe tastes awesome!  Use baked ham & put through a meat grinder for ground ham.  You could also used finely chopped ham if you don’t have a grinder.
