5 ingredients
6 steps

Ingredients

  • 20 whole pickled jalapeno peppers (I use a large can of San Marcos brand, you can also use fresh jalapenos, steamed for a few minutes)
  • 1 lb pork sausage (I use Hot Pork Sausage from Owens)
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 1 (8 ounce) container soft cream cheese (I use non-fat)

Directions

  1. 1
    Cut off stems of jalapenos; using a knife and scooping action, remove all seeds and ridges. Rinse well; be sure you have all the seeds out!
  2. 2
    Combine sausage, egg, and bread crumbs in a bowl.
  3. 3
    Fill jalapenos with cream cheese, using a spoon or cake decorator with large tip.
  4. 4
    Make small patties with the sausage mix; wrap one around each jalapeno, sealing it with your fingers.
  5. 5
    Place on cookie sheet; bake in over at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes. Let cool, cut in half across the middle. Makes 40 Jalapeno eggs.
  6. 6
