Ingredients
- 8-10 mini sweet peppers (or regular bell peppers, halved)
8 oz cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons sour cream (optional for extra creaminess)
1–2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning
1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Prepare the Peppers: Wash and dry the mini sweet peppers (or bell peppers). Slice them in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. If using bell peppers, cut them into smaller bite-sized pieces.
- Make the Cream Cheese Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream (if using). Stir in 1-2 tablespoons of everything bagel seasoning, depending on how bold you want the flavor. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. For extra flavor, mix in some chopped fresh chives.
- Stuff the Peppers: Using a spoon or piping bag, fill each pepper half with the cream cheese mixture. Make sure each one is generously stuffed.
- Chill: Refrigerate the stuffed peppers for at least 20-30 minutes to let the filling firm up and the flavors meld together.
- Serve: Serve the Everything Bagel Cream Cheese Peppers chilled or at room temperature as a tasty appetizer or snack.
Notes
- If you prefer a spicier version, add finely chopped jalapeños or chili flakes.
- For a creamier filling, consider adding diced avocado.
- These peppers are best served chilled but can be stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
