Breakfast Crunch Wrap Casserole
Ingredients
10 Hash Browns frozen patties- 1 Lb Breakfast Sausage pork sausage roll
- ⅓ Cup Salsa jarred, plus more for serving
- ⅔ Cup Sour Cream
- 1 Tbsp Jalapeno Peppers pickled, finely chopped
- 3 Tbsp Butter melted, divided
- 6 Flour Tortillas 12"
- 1 Tbsp Butter
- 10 Large Eggs
- 1 Tbsp Water
- 1 tsp Kosher Salt
- ½ tsp Ground Black Pepper freshly ground
- 2 Cups Cheddar Cheese shredded
Equipment
Method
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier. Arrange your frozen hash brown patties in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they have some space to crisp up evenly. Bake them in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping each patty halfway through to achieve a beautiful golden brown and crispy texture on both sides. Once the hash browns are cooked to perfection, reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the casserole.10 Hash Browns
- While the hash browns are baking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add your sausage to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until it is browned and crumbly, about 5-7 minutes. Once the sausage is cooked through, drain off any excess grease.1 Lb Breakfast Sausage
- In a small bowl, combine your salsa, sour cream, and jalapeños. Give it a good stir to make sure everything is evenly distributed, then set it aside. This will be your flavorful topping for the casserole later on!⅔ Cup Sour Cream, 1 Tbsp Jalapeno Peppers, ⅓ Cup Salsa
- Begin by melting a tablespoon of butter and using a pastry brush to evenly coat the bottom and sides of your casserole dish. This will help the tortillas stick and add a delicious buttery flavor. Next, arrange five tortillas in the bottom of the prepared casserole dish, overlapping them slightly to create a snug fit that covers the entire bottom. Allow the edges of the tortillas to drape over the sides of the dish, which will create a crispy tortilla crust once the casserole is baked. Finally, spread the cooked, crumbled sausage evenly over the layer of tortillas to form the savory base of your casserole.3 Tbsp Butter, 6 Flour Tortillas
- First, melt a tablespoon of butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, water, salt, and pepper until well combined. Pour the egg mixture into the heated skillet and cook, stirring constantly, until the eggs are set and soft-scrambled, about 3 minutes. Once cooked, spread the scrambled eggs evenly over the sausage layer in the casserole dish.1 Tbsp Butter, 10 Large Eggs, 1 Tbsp Water, 1 tsp Kosher Salt, ½ tsp Ground Black Pepper
- Now it's time to layer those delicious toppings! Drizzle half of the reserved sour cream mixture over the eggs for a creamy, tangy flavor, followed by three-quarters of a cup of your favorite shredded cheese. Next, arrange the crispy hash browns evenly over the cheese, adding a hearty element to your casserole. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the hash browns for a golden, crispy top. Take the remaining tortilla and place it in the center of the dish. Gently fold the overlapping tortillas over the center tortilla, pressing down slightly to seal the edges and create a closed, burrito-like shape. Brush the top with the remaining melted butter, which will help the tortillas brown and crisp up in the oven. Finally, gently press down on the folded tortillas to help the edges stick together and create a tight seal, preventing the filling from spilling out during baking.⅔ Cup Sour Cream, 2 Cups Cheddar Cheese
- With all the delicious layers assembled, bake your masterpiece in the preheated 375°F oven until the top is toasted to a beautiful golden brown, about 25 to 30 minutes. Once baked, carefully place a large platter or board over the casserole dish and, with a swift motion, invert the casserole onto the board for a stunning presentation. Cut the casserole into squares and serve it up! Don't forget to offer the remaining sour cream sauce and extra salsa on the side for those who want an extra kick of flavor. Enjoy!⅓ Cup Salsa

Notes
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Give those hash browns some space to breathe! Overcrowding the baking sheet prevents proper air circulation and can lead to soggy patties.
- Consider par-baking: If you want super crispy hash browns, par-bake them for about 10 minutes before adding them to the casserole. This will help them stay crispy even after being layered with other ingredients.
- Try different hash browns: Experiment with different types of frozen hash browns, like shredded or waffle-cut, for a varied texture.
- Spice it up: Add a pinch of chili powder or cayenne pepper to the scrambled eggs for an extra kick.
- Get creative with the meat: Instead of sausage, try ground beef, chorizo, or even a plant-based meat substitute.
- Boost the veggies: Sauté some onions and peppers with the meat for added flavor and nutrients.
- Warm the tortillas: Warm the tortillas slightly before layering them in the casserole dish. This will make them more pliable and less likely to tear.
- Don't overfill: Be careful not to overfill the casserole, as this can make it difficult to fold and seal the tortillas.
- Secure the edges: Use toothpicks to secure the tortilla edges if you're having trouble keeping them sealed.
- Let it rest: Allow the casserole to rest for a few minutes after baking before cutting and serving. This will help the filling set and prevent it from being too runny.
- Make it ahead: Assemble the casserole the night before and bake it in the morning for a quick and easy breakfast.
- Reheat with care: Reheat leftovers gently in the oven or microwave to avoid overcooking the eggs.
