Mexican Breakfast Pie

9 eggs

4 T. chopped onion

1 cup shredded Mexican cheese

1 cup Buttermilk

1 cup diced ham or cooked sausage

5 corn tortillas, cut into quarters

 

Line a 9x13 buttered or greased baking dish with tortillas.  Beat eggs, add milk and beat all ingredients except meat again to blend well.  I sprinkle sausage over the tortillas and then pour the egg mixture over.  Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until mixture is firm to the touch.  You can garnish with jalapeno peppers or serve with sour cream and salsa.  Cut into squares and serve (6-8 persons). 

 

*Tip:  I have prepared this to cook immediately and have prepared it where it sets in the refrigerator overnight.  I prefer overnight, because the egg mixture softens the tortillas and the flavors are more blended
