ARMADILLO EGGS

This is a recipe my late cousin gave me many years ago.

2 to 3 cans of crab meat
2 cans jalapeno peppers (approximately 17)
1/3 cup finely chopped onion
1/3 cup chopped mushrooms
1 tbsp garlic (in a jar)
salt to taste
pepper to taste

Saute the onion, mushrooms, garlic, salt and pepper in some margarine.  Add the drained crabmeat and mix.  Slice jalapenos lengthwise and remove seeds. (It is important to remove seeds.) slice down one side only.  Generously stuff halapenos with the crab mixture.  Dip in a mixture of 3 eggs and 1/4 cup milk.  Roll in cracker meal.  Again dip in egg mixture and roll for a second time in cracker meal.  Drop into preheated deep fryer and cook until golden brown, about 2 or 3 minutes.  Remove and drain on paper towels.
