We've all seen the recipes around. But I could never eat the meat kind. So I tried a few, left what worked and tossed the rest. Here is what I've found that works for me. Now, sometimes I use a little extra sausage. So I keep a bit more on hand, just in case. I hope you enjoy it, too.

Tips:
- Choose the right sausage: A good quality, flavorful sausage is essential for this recipe. Look for a sausage that is made with fresh, high-quality meat and has a good balance of spices.
- Use fresh jalapeños: Fresh jalapeños will give your armadillo eggs the best flavor. If you can't find fresh jalapeños, you can use canned or pickled jalapeños, but the flavor will be less vibrant.
- Don't overcook the sausage: Overcooked sausage will be dry and tough. Cook the sausage until it is just cooked through, about 5 minutes per side.
- Use a good quality cheese: A good quality, sharp cheddar cheese will give your armadillo eggs the best flavor. You can also use other types of cheese, such as mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or Pepper Jack.
- Make sure the eggs are completely coated in the breadcrumb mixture: This will help to ensure that the eggs are evenly cooked and that the breadcrumb coating is crispy.
Conclusion:
Shake 'n Bake Armadillo Eggs are a fun and easy appetizer that is perfect for parties or potlucks. They are also a great way to use up leftover sausage and cheese. With their crispy breadcrumb coating, melted cheese, and spicy sausage filling, these armadillo eggs are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
