Ingredients:
- 1/2 onion
- 1/2 bell pepper
- 4 vegetarian sausage patties
- 2 1/2 cups egg substitute
- 1/2 cup nonfat milk
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (plus extra for topping)
- 1 (10-ounce) can enchilada sauce
- 12 flour tortillas
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that it’s ready when your enchiladas are prepped and ready to bake. -
Prepare Baking Dish:
Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent the enchiladas from sticking. Set the dish aside for later use. -
Sauté Vegetables:
Heat a medium skillet over medium heat and spray it with nonstick cooking spray. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, and sauté them for 1-2 minutes until they start to soften. -
Add Sausage:
Crumble the vegetarian sausage patties into the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Continue cooking until the sausage is heated through and slightly browned. -
Prepare Egg Mixture:
While the sausage and vegetables are cooking, in a mixing bowl, combine the egg substitute, nonfat milk, and cumin. Whisk the ingredients together until well combined. -
Cook Egg Mixture:
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the sausage and vegetables. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are thickened but not overdone. Be sure to keep an eye on the mixture and stir frequently to prevent sticking. -
Assemble Enchiladas:
Pour half of the enchilada sauce into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom. Take each flour tortilla and fill it with approximately 1/3 cup of the egg mixture and 1-2 tablespoons of shredded cheese. Roll up the tortillas and place them seam side down in the baking dish on top of the enchilada sauce. -
Top and Bake:
Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the filled enchiladas in the baking dish. Then, pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the top. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake the enchiladas, uncovered, for approximately 20 minutes, or until they are heated throughout and the cheese is melted and bubbly. -
Serve and Enjoy:
Once baked to perfection, remove the enchiladas from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with your favorite toppings, such as diced tomatoes, avocado slices, or chopped cilantro, if desired. Serve these flavorful Breakfast Enchiladas hot and enjoy a delicious start to your day!
