Southern Breakfast Enchiladas with Sausage Gravy

Southern Breakfast Enchiladas with Sausage Gravy are the ultimate way to start your day with bold flavors and hearty comfort. This dish takes classic breakfast ingredients—fluffy scrambled eggs, savory sausage, and melty cheese—and wraps them in soft flour tortillas before baking them to golden perfection. What makes it truly Southern-inspired is the creamy, peppery sausage gravy poured generously over the top.

This recipe is perfect for mornings when you want something more indulgent than the usual bacon and eggs. The tortillas soak up just the right amount of gravy while staying soft and satisfying, while the baked layer of cheese creates that irresistible gooey topping. It’s a dish that feels homemade and special, yet simple enough for weekend breakfasts or holiday brunches.

The best part? It’s customizable. You can sneak in veggies like bell peppers, add spicy sausage for extra heat, or top with fresh herbs for brightness. Whether you serve it straight from the oven or plated with extra gravy drizzled on top, it’s guaranteed to impress.

This recipe isn’t just breakfast—it’s a true feast that bridges comfort and flavor, giving you all the heartiness of the South in one cheesy, smothered dish.
