8 ounces of alligator sausage (often referred to as alligator pork sausage)
2 cups of rice cooked in chicken stock
5 large Eggland's Best eggs
1 bunch of green onions chopped small
1 pound grated parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon of minced garlic sauteed lightly in butter
1/2 cup of mayonnaise
1/4 cup of half and half
1/2 tablespoon Tabasco
1.5 cups of flour seasoned with Creole seasonings

2 tablespoons of butter
Preparation
