Ingredients

2 cups cubed cooked ham
1/2 cup sliced green onions, plus more for garnish
10 8-inch flour tortillas see notes for other tortilla options
2 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 tbsp flour
2 cups half and half
6 large eggs
1 tsp seasoned salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
non-stick cooking spray

Instructions

Spray a 9×13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
In a medium size bowl combine ham and green onions. Place about 1/4 cup mixture down the center of each tortilla and add 2 tbsp of shredded cheese. Roll tightly, leaving ends open, and place seam side down in baking dish.
In a larger bowl combine flour, half and half, eggs, and seasonings. Whisk until smooth. Pour mixture evenly over the tortillas. Use a knife to separate each tortilla so the eggs have a chance to seep down in between the sides. Cover with foil and place in the refrigerator for 8-hours or overnight.
Remove from the fridge and allow to sit on the counter for 30-minutes before baking. Preheat oven to 350℉ and bake enchiladas with foil on for 35-minutes. Remove the foil and bake another 15-20 minutes. You want the eggs to be just set and not jiggly. Sprinkle on more cheese and bake another 5-10 minutes. Tortillas should be crisp on top and cheese melted. Garnish with more green onions and serve.

Notes

Tips:

Variations and substitutions-

Meat– Use any cooked breakfast meat you like; bacon, breakfast sausage and chorizo all work great.
Veggies– This is great with diced green or red peppers. Mushrooms and spinach would also be a nice addition. Note: Make sure to sauté the veggies first to prevent the dish from excess water.
Tortillas– Flour, low carb, and even gluten free work great in this recipe. I have not tried corn tortillas.
Cheese– Cheddar is my go-to with ham and eggs but pepper Jack, Colby Jack, Monterey Jack, or swiss are good alternatives.
Spices and herbs- Use dried herbs like oregano and Italian seasoning. Other spices that work great are garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, cumin, and cayenne pepper.

What to serve with brunch enchiladas-

Set out toppings like fresh avocado, sour cream, hot sauce and salsa. These enchiladas are filling on their own but breakfast potatoes or fruit would be a great addition.

Storing leftovers-

Store cooled brunch enchiladas in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed through.
