ARMADILLO EGGS

Steps:

• Finely chop the onions, 3 or 4 jalapenos, and garlic. Let the cream cheese soften as needed. Shred the Pepper Jack cheese. Slice the remaining whole jalapeno peppers in half vertically and clear out all of the seeds and pith. Keep the matched pepper halves together. In a large bowl, mix the cream cheese with the pepper jack cheese. Mix in enough yellow food coloring to approximate the color of egg yolk. The food coloring will not effect the taste but adds a little something special to the presentation. Sauté the onions and diced peppers in vegetable oil or butter over medium heat. Add the garlic to the sauté about 2 minutes prior to completion. Drain and thoroughly mix the sauté with the cheeses. Fill each pepper half and then stick two matched halves together. Refrigerate the stuffed peppers when done. Use another bowl and mix together the sausage, egg, bread crumbs, and a couple of tablespoons of your favorite BBQ rub thoroughly. Place this sausage mixture in the refrigerator when done. Take the stuffed jalapenos out of the fridge along with the sausage mixture. Grab a handful of the sausage and mold it around one of the stuffed peppers. You want to make sure the sausage completely covers the pepper. The final product should take on the shape of the pepper and thus have an egg shape to it. The easiest way to accomplish this shaping process is to use plastic gloves and shape each egg by hand. Try and get an even layer of sausage around each pepper. Sprinkle BBQ rub on the eggs. Bake at 325 degrees for 20 minutes. (These may be frozen ahead of time, then re-heated).

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:

• 1. Grocery list: At produce section, choose medium, firm jalapinos. Try to avoid curved ones and ones that already smell spicy. Amount depends on how many guests enjoy peppers. Figure 3 per adult. (I have found that most of them are not spicy when cooked, more of a "warm bell pepper" flavor.) Boneless skinless chicken breast. Large block of colby-jack cheese. 2 packages of smoked bacon. Box of round toothpicks.
• 2. Start with washing the jalapinos. Slice the jalapinos up and down, (long-ways). Spoon out the seeds and re-wash. (Try to keep original halves together.) Cut rectangle chuncks of chicken breast that would fit snuggly inside a jalapino. (be sure that the chicken is mostly thawed.) Slice cheese at about one MM thick, about 2 inches long. Place cube of chicken inside a half jalapino and lay slice of cheese on top. re-unite other jalapino half to encase chicken and cheese. wrap slice of bacon around the middle of pepper to hold together and secure with toothpick through middle. repeat till all are ready for the grill. Grill time is about 15-20 min. when cheese starts dripping out, and bacon is mostly crispy, they are done. Note: if you rinse toothpicks while prepping, they are less likely to catch fire at ends :) enjoy Armadillo Eggs!
