Why This Recipe Works

• Using a Crockpot or slow cooker means that the breakfast casserole cooks while you sleep, making it the perfect solution for busy mornings.
• The combination of scrambled eggs, sausage, and shredded cheese provides a filling and satisfying breakfast.
• The use of tortillas and shredded cheese adds a nice texture and flavor to the dish.

Key Ingredients

For a truly delicious Crockpot breakfast casserole, you want to use high-quality ingredients that will elevate the dish. I recommend using farm-fresh eggs, nitrate-free sausage, and sharp cheddar cheese. Don’t be afraid to get creative with your cheese selection – a blend of cheddar and parmesan or mozzarella works beautifully. Your local grocery store likely has a great selection of artisanal cheeses to choose from.

When it comes to tortillas, look for the highest-quality, Mexican-style tortillas that are made with whole wheat or flour. These will hold up nicely to the moistness of the eggs and cheese, and provide a nice texture contrast to the dish.
