Armadillo Eggs

25 mins Serves 10

A classic appetizer featuring stuffed jalapenos wrapped in sausage and cheese.

Ingredients

Scale: 1x
  • 10 large Jalapeno peppers, halved lengthwise and de-seeded
  • STUFFING:
  • 1/2 package Cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup Sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup Mozzarella cheese
  • 1/8 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Chili powder
  • BREADING:
  • 1/2 pound Pork sausage, raw
  • 1/2 pound Sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups Bisquick
  • 2 Eggs, beaten
  • 1 package Shake & Bake, Pork flavor

Instructions

  1. Use the largest Jalapenos you can find.
  2. Split the Jalapenos in half lengthwise and de-seed.
  3. Mix together the STUFFING ingredients (Cream cheese, 1/2 cup Cheddar, Mozzarella, Salt, Chili powder) and pack the jalapeno halves. Put the halves back together to reform the pepper shape.
  4. Mix the BREADING ingredients: Bisquick, sausage and 1/2 pound Cheddar cheese.
  5. Take this sausage mixture and form it around a stuffed jalapeno. Use enough to cover completely.
  6. Beat the eggs in a shallow dish.
  7. Dip the sausage-covered jalapenos in the beaten egg and then roll in the Shake and Bake mix to coat.
  8. Cook at 350°F (175°C) for 25 minutes. You can also grill these, turning a couple times until the sausage is cooked through.

Tips

Ensure the sausage layer completely seals the jalapeno to prevent cheese leakage during cooking.
