Armadillo Eggs on the Ninja Woodfire
Air Fried & Smoked Armadillo Eggs? Say less. Ingredients and Directions are below 👇
Ingredients:
8 Jalapeños
4oz Cream Cheese, softened
4 oz Shredded cheddar cheese
1 lb Italian Sausage (whichever spice level you want)
1 lb Pork Sausage
1 lb Bacon
2 cloves garlic, minced
garlic powder
smoked paprika
salt
pepper
Optional - Hot Sauce
Directions:
Remove stem and hallow the jalapeños. I recommend pre-boiling the jalapeño for 4 minutes before stuffing them. This will make the jalapeños a little spicier, and they will have a better texture when you bite into them after they're done cooking. The jalapeños were still really crunchy when I didn't pre-boil them, and much more mild of a flavor.)
Combine cream cheese, shredded cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper (and hot sauce if you want) together until they are mixed throughout.
Combine Italian sausage, pork sausage, garlic, onion powder, and salt & pepper. Stuff with Cream Cheese Mixture using a spoon or piping.
Wrap stuffed jalapeño with your sausage blend. Easiest way is to make a ball, then flatten it out, then place the jalapeño on the sausage disc then wrap completely around.
Once you've got a sausage 'egg', wrap that with 2 pieces of bacon, trying to cover all the sausage. - Spray wire basket with Pam or wipe with oil and place the 'eggs' into the basket.
Cook at 380F on the air crisp mode with the smoker setting turned on.
Cook for 30 minutes total, flipping them over halfway through, at the 15 minute mark.
If you want to see a demonstration on how these are made, I’ve got a YouTube video of these armadillo eggs, you can check it out on our YouTube if want to watch me make it!
The Ninja Grill is awesome. I love that I can add smoke into anything I choose. I didn’t have to sacrifice the air crisp setting to have some smoky flavors. If you want to check out this grill and possibly get one of your own, you can do that here.
