Equipment

1 Baking Dish 9 by 13-inch

Ingredients

8 ounces Breakfast Sausage
6 slices Bacon chopped
10 Eggs large
½ cup Milk
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1 teaspoon Onion Powder
½ teaspoon Cumin
½ teaspoon Salt
¼ teaspoon Black Pepper
1 cup Sour Cream
10 ounces Green Enchilada Sauce canned
8 Small Flour Tortillas quartered
2 cups Cheddar Cheese shredded
2 cups Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack - shredded

Garnishes

Avocado diced
Black Olives sliced
Green Onions sliced
Tomato diced

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9 by 13-inch baking dish.
Cook the sausage in a skillet until browned; remove and set aside. Cook the bacon until crisp and drain.
Whisk the eggs with the milk, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
Scramble the eggs in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until just set. Remove from heat.
Stir together the sour cream and green enchilada sauce to make the casserole sauce.
Spread a thin layer of sauce on the bottom of the baking dish.
Add half the tortillas in an even layer, then top with half the eggs, sausage, bacon, and cheeses.
Add a second layer of tortillas, more sauce, and the remaining eggs, sausage, bacon, and cheeses.
Drizzle any remaining sauce over the top. Cover with foil and bake 20 minutes.
Uncover and bake 10–15 minutes more, until cheese is melted and casserole is heated through.
Rest 5 minutes before serving. Garnish and serve warm.

Notes

Saucier version: Use 15 oz green enchilada sauce plus ½ cup sour cream in place of what is listed above.

Sausage swap: Ground turkey sausage or plain ground turkey can replace breakfast sausage.

Bacon shortcut: Packaged bacon crumbles work in place of cooked bacon. Choose a good-quality brand.

Tortilla swap: Low-carb flour tortillas work well. Corn tortillas haven't been tested.

Make-ahead: Assemble fully the night before, cover, and refrigerate. Let sit at room temp 20 to 30 minutes before baking. Add extra time if baking straight from the fridge.

Storage: Refrigerate leftovers up to 4 days; freeze up to 2 months.
