Texas Lizard Eggs - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    10 -12 fresh jalapeno peppers
    2 lbs breakfast sausage (regular or hot)
    1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, room temperature (can use 1/3 less fat)
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
    Split the jalapenos end to end, making little \"canoes\" of them.
    Clean out the centers, removing all the seeds and veins.
    Fill each half level with cream cheese.
    With the sausage, take a \"meatball\" sized portion, flatten it in your hand, making a rectangle out of it.
    Take the filled jalapeno half and wrap it completely with the sausage.
    Wash hands thoroughly to remove pepper \"stuff\".
    Place on a broiler pan or cooling rack suspended over a baking pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray.
    Bake in the oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until evenly browned.
    Let \"eggs\" cool a bit and enjoy!
