...
This week's carnival submission comes from a friend of mine. He introduced them to me while tailgating before the Nascar race at Kansas a few years ago. I have no idea where he came up with this recipe. Don't be scared.
armadillo eggs
1 dozen jalapeno peppers
1 package cream cheese (the full fat kind)
1 package grated sharp cheddar cheese
6 slices of bacon, cooked, and crumbled
1 egg
1 cp bread crumbs
1 tsp garlic powder
Cut the stems of the peppers, slice an opening down one side and deseed them. You would be smart to use rubber gloves for this or you might turn out like Rory. Don't rub your eyes! Once this is done mix the cheeses in equal parts. Add the bacon and stir some more. Stuff the little peppers until they are full. Crack the egg and beat it like a rented mule. Dip each pepper in the egg wash, then the bread crumbs and put it on a wire rack in a jelly roll pan. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes or longer if you like softer peppers. Serve, be the hit of the party, and drink their beer while they aren't looking. Oh yeah. Mix the garlic powder in with the bread crumbs. Add some essence too if you fancy yourself to be Emeril.
