Armadillo Egg Recipe Grilled Food

ARMADILLO EGGS

Steps:

• You will need toothpicks for this. I buy the strong kind so that they don't break easy. Soak toothpicks in water for about 30 minutes.
• First you will need to cut jalapenos lengthwise in half and remove seeds. You can use canned jalapenos; I just prefer fresh.
• Flatten chicken to about 1" and cut into 4-6 pieces (enough to roll over a jalapeno half). Season with whatever seasonings you prefer. I use my Dad's homemade seasonings.
• Take a chicken piece, roll it around a jalapeno half, then roll 1 slice of bacon over top and secure with a toothpick. This may take a while; I usually do this the night before I grill or bake them.
• Cook on grill until bacon is crisp and chicken is cooked through.
• You can bake these in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 45 minutes; I just like them grilled.
• You can steal some off the grill as you are cooking them! YUM!
• If you have extra jalapenos left over, grill 'em if you can take the heat!

ARMADILLO EGGS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease a medium baking sheet.
• Cut a slit in each jalapeno pepper. Remove and discard seeds and pulp.
• In a medium bowl, mix sausage, baking mix, Cheddar cheese, crushed red pepper, and garlic salt.
• Stuff jalapenos with the Monterey Jack cheese cubes. Shape sausage mixture around the jalapenos to form balls.
• Arrange jalapeno balls on the prepared baking sheet. Bake 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until lightly browned.

SHAKE-N-BAKE ARMADILLO EGGS

Steps:

• Slice the peppers in half lengthwise down one side only and scrape out the seeds. If you accidentally cut all the way through, just try to keep the two halves together.
• Mix Bisquick, sausage and cheddar in a large bowl.
• Place the beaten egg in a shallow bowl,.
• also put the Shake N Bake in a shallow bowl.
• Stuff each pepper with shredded jack, then stick the halves back together, if separated.
• Grab a handful of the sausage mixture and wrap around the pepper in the shape of an elongated egg.
• Dip in beaten egg and roll in Shake N Bake to coat evenly.
• Place on a greased baking sheet. When the peppers are all ready, bake at 350F for 25 minutes or till crisp.
• This recipe for Armadillo Eggs serves/makes 20.
• CAUTION! IF USING HABENAROS, USE OWN DISCRETION AS TO PEPPER PROPORTIONS. Maybe make some jalapeno and some habenaros.
• Be sure to de seed peppers accordingly depending on your tolerance for oral agony!

ARMADILLO EGGS (STUFFED JALAPENOS)

Steps:

• Slice jalapenos in half and clean out seeds (be sure to get them all or they will be hot).
• Mix cheese, onion and garlic salt together and spoon into jalapeno halves.
• Wrap each with 1/2 strip of bacon.
• Place on cookie rack placed over a cookie sheet to catch the drippings.
• Bake at 350 for about 45 minutes or until the bacon is crisp.
• The thin bacon wraps easier.
• I just tuck the ends under the bottom.
• Amazingly, these are not hot if you get all the seeds out.
• There are never enough of them no matter how many I make because they are so popular.
