Easy Overnight Breakfast Enchiladas

Brace yourselves for a flavor-packed morning delight – our Ham & Cheese Breakfast Enchiladas are about to become your new obsession. Soft tortillas wrapped around savory ham and gooey cheese, all drizzled with a touch of zesty honey mustard. But wait, there’s more! These enchiladas are then baked in a luscious blend of eggs and creamy half-and-half. We refer to these Ham & Cheese Breakfast Enchiladas as Quichiladas at our house because they are like a quiche and enchiladas all in one. Whatever you call them, they are delicious!

How to Make Ham & Cheese Quichilada Breakfast Enchiladas

This casserole is super easy to make with only a few simple ingredients. In a bowl, stir together chopped ham, cheese, and honey mustard dressing. Divide the ham mixture between 10 flour tortillas. Roll up each tortilla and place seam side down in a baking dish. In a medium bowl, whisk together half and half, eggs, and flour. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Pour the egg mixture over the tortillas. Cover and let sit overnight. In the morning, remove the dish from the refrigerator. Uncover and bake. Sprinkle the enchiladas with cheese and bake until the cheese has melted. Garnish with fresh parsley and scallions.

What to Serve with Ham & Cheese Breakfast Burritos

This breakfast casserole is a family favorite. We like to top the enchiladas with some sour cream, green onions, and tomatoes. They are also great with some avocado and salsa! When it comes to side dishes, I’ve got some delicious options. First off, consider serving these flavorful enchiladas with a side of fresh fruit salad – the sweetness of the fruit complements the savory ham and cheese perfectly. If you’re looking for a heartier option, a serving of crispy hash browns or breakfast potatoes will complete the meal. And don’t forget about creamy cheese grits to round out your meal.

  1. I made this for brunch last Sunday. YUMMY! I used a bag of frozen mushrooms and onions worked great. I LOVE all of your recipes.

  2. These look super good and I'm a huge fan of things that can be made up the day before – probably why so many of my breakfasts are made from leftovers.

  3. Oh yum! We love to have breakfast for dinner during the week. It would be easy to make this up before I leave work and then pop it in the oven when we get home. Great idea! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
