Texas Woodpecker Eggs

"This recipe originally came to me from my good friend, and Ex-MIL, Barbara Carroll. It is similar to "Texas Armadillo Eggs", but uses boiled eggs in place of the stuffed Jalapeños. WARNING* These are addictive to Egg-Lovers!"

directions

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
  • Lightly spray a large baking pan with cooking spray.
  • Mix together the sausage (raw) and grated pepper Jack cheese.
  • Add biscuit mix in, 1/2 cup at a time, until all is thoroughly mixed.
  • This will make a very stiff dough, and should now be kneaded for about 3 minutes.
  • Pinch off pieces of the dough, almost the size of the eggs, and flatten out the piece into a "pancake", about 1/4 inch thick.
  • Place one boiled, peeled egg in the center of each "pancake" and roll the dough around each egg to cover it all the way around evenly.
  • Seal any edges together with your fingers.
  • Continue this until all of the eggs are covered in the dough.
  • Place the box of Shake' N Bake into a large shallow dish.
  • Crack the 3 additional raw eggs into a bowl; season with a pinch of salt and black pepper and beat.
  • Roll each egg in the Shake' N Bake, then in the egg wash, and back again through the Shake 'N Bake.
  • Lay each egg on the prepared baking sheet as it is done.
  • Bake at 300 degrees for 30 minutes.
  • The "Woodpecker Eggs" will seem soft to the touch when they first come out of the oven, but as they cool, they will "crust" nicely.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Recently moved to New Mexico from South-East Texas. What can I say, I LOVE to cook! My screen name came from my husband Bert. He calls me his Kitchen Witch, because he says that I "make magic" in the kitchen.Bert works in Emergency Medicine in a local E.R.(That's what brought us here to New Mexico.) He has worked Emergency for about 27 years now, and I call him my "working class hero".(In reference to the John Lennon song.) I have 5 awesome children, 2 step-sons, 2 sons, and a daughter, who because she is the youngest and the only girl, thinks she is a princess.(oh no, she's not spoiled!) I come from a long line of people, on both sides of the family, who were wonderful and creative cooks. I guess that explains my love of cooking and feeding people.I truly get a thrill out of serving food to people who enjoy it.I also love to read, and consume books and information ravenously.I absolutely adore a great mystery.I also would have a hard time surviving without music! I like most all music, from The Beatles, to old Blues(Robert Johnson rocks!) ,to Loreena McKennitt,and Phoebe Snow.I am currently a house wife, due to our recent move.Before that, I worked for several years with abused children in an RTC.(Residential Treatment Center.) My pet peeves are small-minded,prejudiced,mean people and wastefulness. Growing up, my Father taught us that to waste food was a sin when there are so many people in the world starving.I guess that one really stuck with me.I love to meet people with common interests,so Zmail me any time!<img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/FFF/Switzerland-FFF4.gif"> <a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"> <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"></a> <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w270/dign4bones/cuckoo1.gif" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a><img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/200_PACpic.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/222/511934835_9dc466e9a4_o.gif"> <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/Zaar%20World%20Tour%203/ZWT3-Participation.gif"><img src="http://www.satsleuth.com/cooking/RecipeSwap2.JPG" width=50%>
