The Simple Process Overview
Let’s break this down, step-by-step, friends! First, start with those scrambled eggs! Don’t worry if they come out slightly underdone—they’ll finish cooking in the oven!
-
In a skillet over medium heat, crumble and brown your sausage! Aim for about 7-10 minutes. The sizzle and aroma? Out of this world!
-
Once your sausage is cooked, set it aside. In that same pan, whisk in the flour and milk to create your creamy gravy! Cook until it thickens—about 5 minutes should do it! Feel free to season it as you like; add salt, pepper, and maybe a pinch of cayenne if you’re feeling bold!
-
Now, let’s assemble! In a baking dish, layer some of that sausage gravy at the bottom! Fill your tortillas with a scoop of scrambled eggs, hash browns, sausage, and a sprinkle of cheese. Roll them up like the delicious gifts they are, and place them seam-side down in the dish!
-
Pour the remaining gravy over the top, adding more cheese because—YES, MORE CHEESE! Bake for 25-30 minutes at 350°F or until everything is bubbly!
Watch out—not only will the smells drive you wild, but you may just give in and taste test ahead of time! Don’t worry; I wouldn’t blame you!
