Do you love the flavor of enchilada sauce? I do.

Do you love eggs in a variety of different ways? I do.

Both of these are controversial questions. Not everyone will get past these two questions to read the rest of this recipe. But, I know…I just know…there will be a select group of readers who are going to love this breakfast creation. And this, my friends, is for you.

I loved this meal, everything about it. Mr W said the soft texture of the eggs, sauce and beans was a little different for him. (Note: I made this recipe with  refried beans added in the sauce the first time but not shown in the photo or the recipe below)

I can see that. In this case, I would skip the beans and use a slotted spoon to remove the eggs from the sauce. In fact, if you’re one of my many followers who have had a weight-loss surgery, be sure to use this method to fill up on more egg and less sauce and beans. It will keep you full longer!

  1. I very much like some of your recipes….but i can not seem to be able to print them out. I have to write them down with all the information. Is there a way to print the recipe and ingredients.
    Thank you for your response

    So far I have liked the creamy eggs and my wife
    and I plan to do the enchilada eggs. Looking forward to this recipe.

  2. Update to this older reply: you can print when you click the icon of the printer

    I’m glad you’ve enjoyed the recipes! I’m afraid the current site doesn’t allow to print easily. Other followers have told me if they copy and paste into a word document then can print from there. There will be updates to the website in the near future that will hopefully include a printing option! Thanks for following!

  3. Refried beans are on the ingredients list, but are not mentioned in the directions.

  4. HI Karen! I do see where I mentioned beans in the notes section but not in the recipe. For the recipe card the ingredient list shows enchilada sauce, eggs and salt. On a previous version of the recipe I included beans in the sauce which are not shown because I removed the eggs from the sauce and plated them without beans. Sorry for the confusion!

  5. 4 stars
    How long would this keep in the refrigerator? There’s 4 servings here per recipe. This sounds delicious and going to try it tonight.

  6. I would say 7 days for eggs as far as safety though it may be a question of if the quality lasts the full week. You could also save the sauce and cook two eggs at a time and then cook another two with the saved sauce!
