Breakfast Enchiladas (with Bacon and Eggs) Recipe

I had pals over for a protracted weekend. I mapped out the meals and snacks I needed to make for them with navy precision. These Breakfast Enchiladas have been the one impromptu factor I made. And this was their favorite meal.

I’m 30-something years previous and I nonetheless have sleepovers with my girlfriends. Is that irregular? I’m not even speaking about weekends away. I’m speaking about precise sleepovers – convey your pillow and PJ’s, numerous wine, rag mags (gossip magazines) and on this specific case, certainly one of my pals introduced hair dye together with her so we may do her roots for her. (It was purported to be blonde. It got here out orange. Oops!)

I’m banned from posting the numerous hilarious photographs I’ve from the weekend. I’m banned from mentioning them by identify and I’m banned from sharing with you all of the ridiculous tales and incidents that had us rolling round in stitches, eyes watering from laughing so arduous.

Actually, what sort of pals are these if I can’t even get tales my weblog once I feed them and provides them a heat mattress to sleep in? 😉

When I’ve company staying, I’m a little bit of a management freak. I map out your complete menu for the entire weekend. I prefer to get forward and make what I can prematurely so I look actually poised and might whip up dishes on a whim with seemingly little effort. I prefer to attempt to impress them by making my very own sourdough and airily say I by no means purchase bread anymore.

You realize. Assume Martha Stewart. The hostess with the mostess. I can’t assist it. It began in my early twenties once I began internet hosting dinner events and it’s simply snowballed from there. I get worse with age.

So I used to be fully organised with an inventory of issues I may make on request (I’ve moved on from set menus, I now give company a menu to select from). As issues at all times go, I wasn’t fully proud of something that I made for them. Besides these Breakfast Enchiladas. The one impromptu factor I made.

My pals liked them. On the finish of the weekend, they declared it to be their favorite meals from the entire weekend. And so they insisted that I have to share it on my weblog.

So right here it’s. The Breakfast Enchiladas.
