Armadillo Eggs
"Armadillo Eggs" are delicious morsels of jalapeno filled with a delectable herbed cream cheese blend and then wrapped generously in bacon and grilled or baked to perfection.
Ingredients
- 1 pkg bacon (12 oz)
- (I used dried/reconstituted)
- 2 tsp Chives
- 1 T. Chopped Green Onion
- 1 pkg Cream Cheese (8 oz)
- 1 dozen Fresh Jalapeno Peppers
Instructions
- Bake 15 minutes or until bacon is crispy. These are delightfully delicious! These are also quite tasty grilled!
- Wrap each filled Jalapeno with 1/2 slice of bacon.
- Mix Cream Cheese, chives and chopped green onion until smooth. Fill each jalapeno half with cream cheese mixture.
- Halve and seed the jalapenos. I recommend using gloves to prevent burning your fingers (or eyes hours later when you accidentally touch your face).
- Preheat oven to 375F
