I made this for Christmas brunch and everyone loved them. Very tasty and even my daughter, who doesn’t care for ham enjoyed them. This is a keeper! I now make them with taco cheese, green chilies, and turkey sausage making sure they are covered throughout the entire baking time…I use a 9×13 baking stone that ensures a perfect outcome every time 🙂

Very good but my suggestion as to why they may not turn out well…make sure that the enchiladas and wrapped tightly and that the egg mixture almost covers over them completely. If there is too much tortilla sticking out, they will burn on top as previous complaints have stated, while the inside tastes just fine. The first time I made this recipe, the top of my tortillas didn’t burn but got semi-hard after cooking. They were still good enough for me to try again and the second time, after making sure that it was mostly covered with the egg mixture, they turned out REALLY GOOD. I also added more cheese in the mixture. This is a good recipe but it is one that takes practice to make perfect. Hopefully, readers will take this suggestion into account and try them. They are worth it and my family now requests them regularly. (I even made them for dinner once and used a variety of mexican toppings to complete the meal).

My sister and her family were here for a long weekend. I tried this recipe and everyone loved it. We had kids and adults asking for more!!
I bought the frozen all ready cut onions,green peppers,red peppers. It worked wonderful with the cut up deli ham.
We added sour cream and salsa to our servings.
It was great!!Kerri-IA

I substituted cooked chicken for the ham in this recipe and added 3/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper to the meat mixture. It was VERY good. My tortillas browned quite a bit more that I’d have liked while being cooked at the minimum amount of time. So, keep an eye on them while they cook! All my guests, my husband and kids loved them. I served them with salsa.

This recipe got a rave review at Christmas brunch. I used half the amount of bell peppers and added a can of chopped green chilies, and topped with salsa and sour cream. I also used a combination of extra sharp white cheddar and mild yellow cheddar cheese to punch up the flavor. I will definitely make again.

We made this for Easter brunch and it was well received. They got all ate up and everyone oohed and ahhed and said yummy for my tummy. It is a must to cook these covered. The top of the tortillas will get a little browned and crispy but this is just right! I did half pepper jack and half cheddar for extra bite. Had some leftover filling and used that to make quesadillas later on.

These were tasty, even though they got a little toasty on top. Thank goodness I checked midway through the cooking time, so I was able to cover with aluminum foil the rest of the time. Also, because I don’t do bell peppers, I diced a jalapeno instead. We enjoyed the extra kick.

I made these with maple flavored sausage, a can of green chiles, and extra hot pepper sauce; left out the green peppers just because I don’t care for them. I left the foil on for most of the baking time. They were very good, but next time I will use fat free half and half and Egg

Wonderful dish. Enjoyed by all at a brunch this morning. Read all reviews and incorporated some of the suggestions: replaced red pepper for the green, added a small can of diced green chilies, replaced Jimmy Dean breakfast sausages (crumbled and browned) for the ham, used half shredded cheddar and half shredded pepper jack. Delicious, rich, satisfying. Served with mild salsa. Will also have available sour cream and guacamole the next time I make this.

This was a very easy recipe and looked very nice. I also made this for my daughter’s confirmation brunch and it was a hit. I substituted sausage for the ham as I alread had a dish with ham. I also doubled the green chilies. I used two cans. It was rich with the sausage, but was very good.

We live in Long Beach, WA and host the International Kite Festival. I made this for 40 of the Kite Flyers from all parts of the world. It was an absolute success for the brunch we served on the beach and everyone wanted the recipe. The only thing I changed was using sausage instead of ham. Thank You Thank You

This is the perfect recipe for using leftover ham. I made this for dinner with a salad on the side. Everyone loved it! I didn’t even let the recipe sit over night in the refrigerator as suggested – I just baked it right away. I will definately make this again – maybe even for brunch one day. mmm…

My family loved this brunch dish! I lightened it up by using 2 cups of 1% milk in place of the cream, turkey ham or 50% reduced fat sausage (Jimmy Dean has a great one) in place of the ham, and reduced fat cheddar cheese. It was just as good as the regular recipe, with less guilt!

We had this for a New Years’s Day brunch and my husband talked about them all day long! He loved them. I used whole wheat flour tortillas and changed the milk to cream ratio a bit. They did get a little crunchy on top, but he thought that was part of their charm. We served salsa and guacamole on the side.

This is a favorite, but the recipe’s portions are really big, unless you are feeding people with huge appetites. I have served this a few tmes, and have always found that about 3/4 of one enchilada satisfies an adult. Because dish is quite dense, serve it with something light, like a fruit salad. Lastly, because the dish is covered in cheese before baking, you will have great trouble finding each of the enchiladas when you are ready to serve. Avoid this problem by marking the location of each enchilada with toothpicks before baking.

This is an excellent recipe. I don’t eat ham, so I substituted lump crab meat and red pepper for the ham and green pepper. It was yummy. I did make 5 tortillas with the ham mixture (per recipe) and it got rave reviews. It is more filling than expected, it easily served five of us with leftovers. Fabulous!

This recipe was truly great and a huge hit at my Easter brunch. I added ortega chilis and a lot more hot sauce than the recipe called for, which gave it a nice strong flavor. I was a little skeptical about the ground up ham, but it worked out really nicely. Will definitely make again, as my husband can’t stop eating it!!

Following the advice of other reviews, I covered these during cooking and marked them with toothpicks (good advice). They were good, but the end result was very casserole-like & not very enchilada-like. Although they kept their shape during baking, with the egg mixture baked up around them, I could not really differentiate the taste of the flour tortilla when eating them. If I had known they would be like that, I would have saved on the trouble of rolling, etc, & would have just made a Mexican breakfast casserole that has layered tortillas in it. Not a bad flavor, just not what I wanted. Has anyone else thought this? Next time I will try a breakfast burrito recipe.

This was a huge hit. It made 6 large enchiladas and 4 men ate it all in one sitting (my husband shared it with his co-workers). After reading some of the other posts I knew I needed to add some kick to it so I included 1/3 cup of chopped jalapeno peppes to the ham mixture and added about 6-8 drops of hot sauce to the egg mixture. They all loved it and its the first time I’ve had men asking me for a recipe. Next time I will try sausage instead of ham.

I cooked this for my 3 guys (dad, husband and 4 year old son) and they all liked it. My dad wanted more green onions and my husband less, but other than that they thought it was good. Now I did leave out the bell pepper and hot sauce since we don’t like either and I substituted the garlic powder with garlic salt because we like our food a little more salty. I scaled the recipe to servings for 6, and everything worked out except there wasn’t enough egg mixture. I think when I make this again, I will either make the sugg. serving, or make 6 again and use the egg mixture amount for 10 servings. All and all, it went over well. And VERY filling.

Delicious! I changed some ingredients and made the enchiladas for Christmas brunch and everyone loved them!
I used spicy sausage (Bob Evan’s brand I think) and I used spicy shredded cheddar cheese (Sargento’s new line of cheese blends)… other than that I followed you recipe. Maybe next time I will use more sausage though.
Thanks so much for the great enchiladas! -

Really good brunch dish! My family enjoyed it for Christmas breakfast. We ended up just dicing the ham instead of grinding it. These are more filling than you expect, very hearty! I didn’t have the problem of some previous reviewers of the eggs baking up and covering the tortillas…in fact, my tortillas were getting brown before the eggs completely set…but it still turned out very tasty.

I’m surprised, due to all the great reviews this recipe got, that I found this dish so unappealing(and i am not a fussy eater) I made the recipe exactly as called for and found it bland.Maybe i should have used some of the suggestions from other reviewers and would have gotten better results, either way I’m not trying this recipe again.

I have made this twice for our Sunday School class… once with ham and once with sausage. Both got rave reviews, although I preferred sausage. Definitely cover them with foil until the last few minutes, and remember that it makes ALOT. I doubled the recipe (it’s a big class!) and it made 24 large enchiladas, that filled 3 large pans, plus I had 2-3 cups of ham mixture left over! Very yummy brunch and smells WONDERFUL while cooking!

This recipe was a big hit at a brunch I recently hosted. I took some of the advice others posted about covering with aluminum foil while baking. I also chunked the ham instead of finely chopping and added red peppers as well. It was very flavorful and filling and everyone wanted the recipe afterwards which is the ultimate test on whether or not they really loved it!

If I could have rated this recipe higher than 5 stars, I would have.
This is by far the best breakfast meal I have ever made. EVERYONE loved it.
We had a birthday party and had the family over for brunch.
I found this recipe when I was looking for something different to make. We all love breakfast burritos and thought this would be good. I was getting tired of the same old breakfast casseroles.
I used some ideas that some of your other users had. I added 1 Tbl of green chilis AND jalapenos into the ham mixture. I did not want to use too much in case it got too hot.
I used a mixture of cheese I found (Kraft) that was cheddar and jack cheese with jalapeno mixed in. I also used red pepper along with the green. I made sure I poured the egg mixture over all the enchiladas so they were completly wet. I covered them with foil and cooked them for 50 minutes. I removed the foil and sprinkled the top with more cheese and put them back in the oven without the foil until the cheese melted and bubbled.
I served them with sour cream, salsa, the left over jalepenos and green chilis – Bacon, sausage and hash browns on the side. -

i gave this 4 stars only because I made one change in the recipe. otherwise I would have given it 2 stars. The only thing I changed was jimmy dean sausage for the ham. My husband and I did NOT like this very much. It was extremely bland and in need of a lot of additional toppings, such as sour cream, salsa, etc.

These were excellent, even though I goofed and could only refrigerate them for 1 hr. Used kielbasa that I diced and pre-fried so that I could drain and blot out the grease (even though they were fully cooked in the package) before I mixed it with the veggies. Since the sausage is very salty, next time I would cut back on it, add more veggies, and use Monterey Jack instead of cheddar cheese. I subbed a little chopped Poblano for some of the green bell pepper, and added quite a bit of hot red pepper sauce to the egg mixture. It was very tasty, but a little salty. Enjoy. Can’t wait to make these the right way!!!

I substituted 1/2 lb bulk sausage (browned and drained) for the ham, added 16 oz frozen hashbrowns (sauteed them and the onions with the cooked sausage), added more onions to the tortilla filling. I also added one more egg, salt and pepper, and another cup of cheese on top of the casserole. I baked for 45 min covered with foil, removed the foil for 15 more minutes. When the casserole came out of the oven, I sprinkled with more green onions and dollops of Pace Picante Sauce. It looked beautiful with all the different colors and tasted divine! I will definately make again.

This recipe is so awesome! I am the food service manager for a school district and also cater on the side. I have made this for school and for several catering events. Everyone raves about it-including me! It is SO good! It does take substantial prep beforehand, but it is worth it!

This was excellent. It turned out very weel I brought to an office breakfast and everyone loved it. Everyone asked for the recipe. I used 3 cans of flaked ham instead of what was called for. I also added 1 tsp each chili powder, cumin, corriander and cinnamon. These spices gave great flavor.
-
- by: Puppitypup
- 19 years ago
Very good, with the addition of a dash of cumin, a teaspoon of chili powder and of cilantro, 1/2 t salt and a couple grinds of pepper. I increased the hot pepper to three shakes and added a small can of green chili’s. I made it in a 10×15 greased pyrex with 6″ corn tortillas. Had to whisk up one more egg with cream to add to cover the tortillas. (I would have given it 5 but I’m not crazy about ham – made it just to use up the leftovers.)

This is so YUMMY, this is always requested whenever we have over-night gatherings with our group of friends, whoever wakes up first throws it in the oven & we have a feast, we usually serve with sour cream & salsa. I do however combine the cheese with the other filling ingredients, much easier & time saving!

Made both the ham and the sausage enchiladas for New Years brunch. I baked without covering and the tops got hard. The filling was good, I added some cumen, cilantro and chili powder The egg mixture cooked around the enchiladas and the texture of the egg mixture was pretty nauseating. I served it with sour cream, salsa and guacamole. The sausage ones were better. I put in some refried beans, the sausage mixture and then the cheese. Next time I make something like this I will scramble the eggs and put them into the tortila and cover with a cheese sauce. I will not make this recipe again.

I made this dish for my in-laws at Christmas and a church group and everyone loved it and wanted the recipe. I was so glad that I could prepare it the night before and I did incorporate many of the suggestions others gave. I used Jimmy Dean sausage and added chli powder while it cooked. I mixed in chopped green onion, chopped bell pepper and a can of green chilis (a must). I used both cheddar and Kraft Mexican cheddar jack cheese in the tortillas. To the egg mixture I added 1/2 tsp. of garlic powder, chili powder, salt, pepper, cumin and cilantro along with the hot pepper sauce. I sprinkled some of the sausage mix around the tortillas and after it set over night I did add a bit more egg/milk/cream mix to the top with a sprinkle of cheese. I covered with foil while it cooked and had no problems. This tasted fantastic with salsa and sour cream and the leftovers were great re-heated. When I made this a third time I did find that using less than 6 eggs and too much cheese made the consistency a little too runny/gooey for my taste. Overall a great find!

This was a wonderfull recipe…however I did change a few things and it was a hit! I cooked up a pound of sausage and used that instead of ham. I added choped cilantro for some extra flavor, and used monerey jack chesse to give it a kick. I also used my food processor to chop up the onion and bell peper to make it finer.
This was a wonderful breakfast caserole that I will make again and again…I made it for a work potluck and it was the favorite! SERVE WITH SALSA OR PICO DE GALLO. -

This was so good. I will be making this again. I used sausage instead of the ham, and forgot to add my green onions, so I sprinkeled them ontop, before I baked them. Made this fir my mother-in-law for Mothers Day, and it was a HUGE hit. Next time, Ill try chorizo, for a little more flavor, and spice.

I wasn’t very impressed with the recipe. I felt that there was too much ham mixture and not enough flour tortillas. I also don’t understand why it says to use 7″ tortillas. I think if I try this next time I will use larger tortillas to make use of all the ham/onion mixture. The egg mixture did not cover the tortilla completely and the tops them got “crunchy” after cooking. I will be altering the recipe a bit next time.

We have breakfast Friday’s where I work in which a group of us alternate the responsibility. I always make something instead of buying it, and so I made this for our breakfast today and received rave reviews! I cooked & sausage instead of the ham and omitted the onion and used onion flakes. I also used red and green pepper for a little more color. I also provided heated salsa as a topper.

I love recipes like this where you can prepare them a day in advance. My in-laws spent the weekend. My father-in- law loves anything. My mother-in-law is harder to please. She had seconds of this. YEA! It was lovely with a nice fruit platter, and roasted baby potatoes, and those yummy cream filled puffs you can get at Sam’s Club. Set the table with a pretty table cloth and you have a classy brunch.

Made this for Christmas bunch and my family loved it! I used Jimmy Dean Original Sausage, a can of mild Rotel, a little bit of chopped green pepper and chopped green onion and some shredded cheddar cheese for the filling of each enchilada. I also varied the recipe a little bit by using less half and half (1.5 cups) and more egg (7 large eggs). I read in other reviews that the egg mixgure turned out like custard, and I wanted it to be more “eggy”. These were a huge hit and I will definitely make them again!

I chose this recipe for a brunch I was throwing so I prepared this dish the night before for my family. Testing purposes. Since I did it on short notice I was not able to soak it overnight. It was still very good. I substituted with sausage and used salsa instead of fresh veggies. The salsa gave it a good kick.
My husband ate it all.
I decided to prepare it for my brunch the next day, soaking it overnight. Much better after the soaking. I still fixed it with the exchanges noted above. Everyone wanted the recipe!
I will definitely fix this again.
