A big part of the holiday season tends to be lots of food. So much food that at the end of the meal you think, “I’ll never do this again.” You will though, so don’t worry. If you’re looking for some new things to try in this kitchen this year, the “Duck Dynasty” crew has your back.
The Robertson clan stopped by “Good Morning America” to cook up some of their favorite dishes, from the “Miss Kay’s Duck Commander Kitchen” cookbook. Miss Kay gave a quick tutorial on her traditional duck and stuffing, but the fun happened when Willie Robertson made up a batch of his “armadillo eggs.”
There’s no actual armadillo in the recipe, but there’s plenty of sausage, bacon, cream cheese and butter, so it’s very healthy. The rest of the Robertsons were there to make banana pudding, crazy bread and cranberry salad, with quite a bit more butter put to use.
Adding these recipes to your dinner table will surely make things interesting, but not even remotely healthy.
America’s favorite reality TV family, the Robertson’s of Duck Dynasty, stopped by “Good Morning America” to share their go-to recipes from Miss Kay’s cookbook, “Miss Kay’s Duck Commander Kitchen” to make in their home. Try her recipe for Willie’s Armadillo Eggs here.
Ingredients
- 6 to 8 large jalapeño peppers, cut in half lengthwise, seeds and ribs removed
- 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- 2 pounds breakfast sausage, formed into 12 to 16 patties
- 1 pound bacon, sliced thin
- 1 stick (¼ pound) butter, melted
Cooking Directions
If you’re using a grill, heat it to medium. If not, heat the oven to 400ºF. Fill each jalapeño half with cream cheese. Mold sausage around each jalapeño half, making sure to cover the entire jalapeño. Wrap each “armadillo egg” with a slice of bacon.
Cook the eggs on an open grill until the sausage is cooked through and the bacon is crispy. If you don’t have an outdoor grill, bake in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, then broil until the bacon is crispy.
Remove the eggs from the grill or oven and cover with melted butter.
