Overnight Ham and Cheese Breakfast Enchiladas
Description
This breakfast casserole assembles cubed cooked ham, chopped green onions, and most of the cheddar cheese by rolling them into flour tortillas. Arranged seam-side down in a baking dish, the rolled tortillas are covered with a custard mixture of half-and-half, eggs, salt, and flour, which soaks into the layers overnight in the refrigerator. This resting period allows the flavors to meld and the tortillas to soften fully.
The next morning, the casserole is baked covered at 350°F until the egg mixture is set and the tortillas are tender, then uncovered and sprinkled with remaining cheddar cheese to bake until golden. The result is a creamy, cheesy bakes with tender, flavorful layers featuring the saltiness of ham and sharp cheddar.
Serving it alongside salsa and sour cream provides zest and creaminess, while additional green onions garnish to add color and a fresh bite. This dish is well suited for a make-ahead breakfast or brunch gathering.
