Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 oz cream cheese, room temperature
1/4 c cheddar cheese, shredded
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp chopped cilantro
1/4 tsp ground cumin
salt to taste
6 medium-sized jalapeños
2 lb breakfast sausage or uncooked sausage, removed from its casing
2 beaten eggs
1 c flour
1 1/2 c seasoned bread crumbs

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 375 and lightly grease a baking sheet.
  • 2. Mix together the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, garlic, cilantro and cumin until well blended. Taste and add salt, and adjust seasonings.
  • 3. Remove the stems from the jalapeños and cut in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds and then cut the sliced jalapeños in half, horizontally. Place about a teaspoon of the cream cheese filling in each jalapeño quarter.
  • 4. Take about 1/3 cup of the sausage and pat it into a 3-inch circle and place the stuffed jalapeño in the center of the sausage. Wrap the sausage around the stuffed jalapeño until it's completely covered, and form into an egg shape.
  • 5. Once you have wrapped the jalapenos with the sausage, dust each one with flour. Then dip each in beaten egg then in the bread crumbs.
  • 6. Place sausage-wrapped jalapeños on the sheet, about an inch apart. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the sausage is cooked. For additional browning on top, you can place the sheet under the broiler for 2-5 minutes.
  • 7. Serve with buttermilk dressing, queso or salsa.
