Sausage Tortilla Breakfast Bake
Turkey sausage and eggs come together in this warm, slightly spicy tortilla bake to make a delicious breakfast when served with toast and fruit.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces turkey sausage, or pork sausage
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes and green chiles, or mild salsa
- 6 corn tortillas, 6 inch
- 1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese, or Colby Jack, shredded
- 1/4 cup Pepper Jack cheese, shredded
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 6 eggs
- 3/4 cup low fat milk
- 3/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- sour cream to garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large skillet, cook and crumble sausage over medium heat until no longer pink, 4-6 minutes. Stir in tomatoes. I used mild corn salsa.
- Coat a 9 inch deep-dish pie plate with cooking spray.
- Line pie plate with half the tortillas. You might have to cut tortillas to fit. I used some extra tortillas and allowed them to stick up above the pie plate a bit, like a crust would.
- Sprinkle the tortillas with half of the sausage mixture, then half of the cheese and green onions. Repeat the layers.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, paprika and cumin; pour slowly over the layers.
- Bake uncovered until set, about 30 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve with sour cream and more green onions.
Equipment
- 1 9-inch deep dish pie plate
- 1 medium bowl
Notes
You'll love this recipe because it is prepared by layering the ingredients in a pie dish, which makes baking and cleaning up a breeze. Only one medium bowl is needed to beat the eggs before adding them to the dish.
