Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 12 (168 grams) jalapeno peppers (fresh, large whole peppers)
  • 2 pounds pork sausage (spicy, if you can stand double heat)
  • 1/2 pound Monterey Jack cheese (Colby Cheddar marbled cheese)
  • 1 to 2 eggs, beaten
  • Shake-n-Bake coating mix (1 box Original)
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Preheat oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • Step 2: Wash jalapenos thoroughly. Leave stems intact. Slit one side of each pepper lengthwise, then gently squeeze by the ends to open. Remove all the seeds and membrane possible.

  • Step 3: Cut the cheese in to 1/4 inch square strips, as long as your peppers. Stuff a strip into each of the peppers.

  • Step 4: Make 12 sausage patties, about 1/4 inch thick, large enough to envelope the peppers.

  • Step 5: Place a pepper, slit side down, in the center of a sausage patty. Wrap patty completely around the pepper, pressing to seal openings. Repeat for the remaining peppers.

  • Step 6: Dip a pepper in the egg, then roll in the shake-n-bake to completely cover. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat for remaining peppers.

  • Step 7: Bake for 25-30 minutes until the sausage is done and the "eggs" are golden.
