ARMADILLO EGGS (STUFFED JALAPENOS)



Armadillo Eggs (stuffed jalapenos) image

These are so yummy. The cheese and bacon are a great compliment to the jalapeno flavor and reduce the heat of the peppers. This is my adaptation of an appetizer I had many years ago.

Time 1h15m

Yield 30 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 5

15 fresh jalapenos
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
2 tablespoons minced onions
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
thin sliced bacon

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.

TEXAS LIZARD EGGS

This comes from the food section of the Houston Chronicle. I made some for a Super Bowl get-together yesterday and everyone loved them. I used a roll of regular and a roll of hot sausage and stuck toothpick "stems" in the eggs so nibblers could tell the difference. Use smallish jalapenos for this recipe.You will find that they are not very "jalapeno" hot,but they do have that flavor-great for parties!
