Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spicy Armadillo Eggs.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 325°F (165°C) and give a medium baking sheet a light coat of cooking spray for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Next, take each jalapeño pepper and carefully slice a slit down the side, removing the seeds and pulp to create a perfect vessel for deliciousness.
Step 3
Now, it’s time to fill those peppers with generous cubes of creamy Monterey Jack cheese.
Step 4
In a spacious bowl, mix together the sausage, shredded Cheddar cheese, baking mix, crushed red pepper flakes, and garlic salt until everything is harmoniously blended.
Step 5
With your hands, take a portion of the savory sausage mixture and mold it around each stuffed jalapeño, crafting them into delightful egg-shaped balls.
Step 6
Arrange these tasty creations on your prepared baking sheet.
Step 7
Slide the tray into the oven and let them bake for about 25 minutes, or until the sausage is thoroughly cooked and boasts a lovely golden-brown hue.
Step 8
To ensure perfection, check that an instant-read thermometer registers at least 160°F (72°C) in the center of the sausage.
Step 9
Enjoy the mouthwatering aroma as they bake, and get ready for a flavor explosion!.
