VEGETARIAN ARMADILLO EGGS

We've all seen the recipes around. But I could never eat the meat kind. So I tried a few, left what worked and tossed the rest. Here is what I've found that works for me. Now, sometimes I use a little extra sausage. So I keep a bit more on hand, just in case. I hope you enjoy it, too.
