Enchilada Casserole

This was tonight's creation. Wow!!! It was like having real Mexican food! A crust of egg, cheese, and cream cheese replaces the tortillas. The aroma of the crust baking was pretty amazing. In fact, it was so good, I think tomorrow's night creation will be pizza using the same crust. As a bonus, you get pics to go with tonight's recipe! I'll go back and add pics of the other recipes as I make them.

2 oz. cream cheese

2 eggs
