Combining spicy jalapenos, creamy goat cheese, savory Italian sausage, and crispy bacon, this recipe offers a tantalizing mix of flavors and textures that will delight your taste buds.
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Wash the jalapeño peppers thoroughly.
- Cut off the stems of the jalapeños.
- Slice each jalapeño in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes. This can be done using a small spoon or a knife. Be careful while handling the peppers; wearing gloves is recommended.
- Take about a tablespoon of goat cheese and stuff each jalapeño half with it. Press the cheese gently to ensure it sticks well inside the pepper.
- Divide the Italian sausage into 16 equal portions.
- Flatten each portion in your hand and wrap it around the stuffed jalapeño halves, ensuring it covers the peppers completely. Press gently to make sure the sausage stays in place.
- Wrap each sausage-covered jalapeño with a strip of bacon. Ensure the bacon wraps tightly around the sausage with the ends tucked underneath to secure it. If necessary, use toothpicks to hold the bacon in place.
- Place the bacon-wrapped jalapeños onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are spaced evenly apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the sausage is fully cooked and the bacon is crispy and golden brown.
- Remove the armadillo egg bombs from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
- Serve warm as an appetizer or main dish. Enjoy these flavorful, keto-friendly treats!
Tips:
- Wear gloves when handling the jalapenos to avoid irritation.
- Soften the goat cheese before stuffing the jalapenos for easier handling.
- Ensure the Italian sausage completely covers the stuffed jalapenos to maintain the shape and hold in flavors.
- Use toothpicks to secure the bacon strips if they don't stay in place during cooking.
- Bake the armadillo eggs on a wire rack placed over a baking sheet to allow the bacon to crisp up on all sides.
These Keto Armadillo Egg Bombs are an amazing low-carb, high-flavor treat that will be a hit at any gathering. With a perfect blend of heat, creaminess, and smokiness, they're sure to become a favorite! Enjoy them hot and savory, straight from the oven.
