#Armadillo egg cracked#
I have tested 3 brands in my home and I recommend the Ninja Air Fryer. I would not recommend cooking these in an oven (the bacon never got crispy). This recipe was specifically made for an air fryer.

If you do use thin-cut bacon, you may not need to cook a full 5 minutes after the sausage is completely cooked you will have to watch to monitor that. Again, I used thick-cut bacon, so the cooking time is based on that. That takes about 20 minutes, with the extra 5 minutes of cooking time to crisp up the bacon. The internal temperature of the sausage should be 160☏ when cooked. Bake for 15 minutes at 400☏, flip them over, and bake another 10 minutes. Repeat with the remaining jalapenos, and, working in batches, add the armadillo eggs to the basket of an air fryer. It will look like an egg, or as in this case, a giant egg!įinally, wrap two slices of thick-cut bacon around the outside of the sausage and secure with a toothpick, if needed. Wrap the sausage around a stuffed jalapeno pepper, making sure to cover the entire stuffed pepper and seal it. Scoop out about a quarter cup of the sausage mixture and form it into a patty or disc shape. Next, in a medium bowl, mix together the pork sausage, Italian sausage, brown sugar, minced garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stuff each jalapeno pepper with the mixture all the way to the top. In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and garlic. Let them cool until they are cool enough to touch.Īfter the jalapenos have been hollowed out, boiled, and cooled, make the cream cheese filling. Boiling the jalapenos makes them softer however, you could skip this step. Drain the water and remove the jalapenos from the saucepan. Add the hollowed-out jalapeno peppers to the boiling water and let boil for 5 minutes. Once the peppers are hollowed out, fill a large saucepan halfway full of water and set it over high heat until the water is boiling. You may want to wear gloves for this since you never really know how hot the peppers are! Continue to run the knife around the inside of the pepper to hollow it out. Next, use a paring knife to carefully cut around the seeds and pith to remove it from the pepper. To get the jalapeno peppers prepared for this appetizer, first, wash the peppers and cut the top off (where the stem is). If you do use regular bacon, you may have to adjust the final few minutes of cooking time (after the sausage has been fully cooked to 160☏). Sausage Mixture: I used both pork sausage and Italian sausage in the appetizer, along with brown sugar, garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper.īacon: We used thick-cut bacon in this recipe, so the cooking times are based on that. To do this, hollow out the pepper by cutting off the stem and removing the seeds.Ĭream Cheese Mixture: Make sure the cream cheese is softened before mixing with the cheddar cheese and garlic. Jalapeno Peppers: You will be boiling and stuffing the whole jalapeno pepper. But, there is plenty of savory deliciousness in every bite! And, it’s a keto-friendly appetizer! And, the best part is, our version of this recipe is keto-friendly and cooked in an air fryer!Īs I stated, there are no eggs in this recipe. This is a hearty appetizer that takes jalapeno poppers to a new level. The bacon wrapped around the outside of the ‘egg’ (sausage-wrapped jalapeno pepper) represents the bands in the animal’s shell.
Try my Bacon Wrapped Chicken Bites for another bacon-wrapped appetizer.Īrmadillo Eggs, which are not eggs at all, get their name from the appearance of an armadillo’s shell. Air Fryer Armadillo Eggs are an appetizer made with stuffed jalapeno peppers that are encased in seasoned ground sausage and wrapped with slices of thick-cut bacon.
