Easy Breakfast Enchiladas
How to make easy breakfast enchiladas with ham and peppers (or your favorite veggies or breakfast meats). We love entertaining in the morning, but it can be a pain if you don’t plan ahead.

Or, for a slightly less rich custard, substitute the half-and-half with whole milk. Equal parts whole milk and cream can be substituted for the half-and-half.
