Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 1.5 cups salsa
- 1 cup cooked breakfast sausage or chorizo, crumbled
- 6 small corn tortillas
- 0.25 cup green onions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Cut the corn tortillas into quarters and lightly toast them in the skillet until slightly crispy on the edges. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and ground cumin until well combined.
Layer half of the toasted tortilla pieces evenly at the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle half of the crumbled sausage or chorizo, 1 cup of shredded cheese, and 3/4 cup of salsa on top of the tortillas.
Repeat the layers with the remaining tortillas, sausage or chorizo, 1 cup of shredded cheese, and 3/4 cup of salsa.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layered ingredients in the baking dish, ensuring it soaks into the tortillas.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it sit for 5 minutes before garnishing with chopped green onions and cilantro.
Slice into servings and enjoy hot, optionally served with extra salsa or a dollop of sour cream.
