Let's Get Cooking!
Cut both ends off each jalapeño, then slice it in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds and membranes for milder heat, or leave some in if you like it bold.
Spread the breakfast sausage onto a flat pan. Mix the breadcrumbs with 2 tablespoons of Classic Dust, sprinkle over the sausage, and knead until evenly combined.
Combine the softened cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, and remaining 1 tablespoon of Classic Dust. Mix thoroughly.
Fill both halves of each jalapeño generously with the cream cheese mixture, then put the halves back together to recreate the whole pepper.
Cover each stuffed pepper completely with seasoned sausage, then roll it between your hands into a smooth egg shape.
Preheat your grill. For a pellet grill, set it to 350°F.
Grill the Gator Eggs, turning regularly until browned all around, approximately 15–20 minutes.
Baste with your favorite SMH Grill Sauce. Continue turning and cooking approximately 5–10 minutes longer, until the center of the sausage reaches 160°F. Cooking time varies by grill and sausage thickness.
Remove from the grill and serve hot, just as they are!
