How to Make Cream Cheese Stuffed Mini Peppers
Since there’s no baking involved in this gluten free recipe, you can prepare it with just a few minutes of prep work. Just follow these simple steps for whipping up this quick and easy snack.
Start by making the filling for your stuffed peppers. Add the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and everything bagel seasoning to a medium bowl. Stir the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Next, prepare your peppers by washing and drying them. Then, use a sharp knife to slice each pepper in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the seeds from the top of each pepper and wipe any stuck-on seeds from the inside.
Once your peppers are ready to go, the last step to making this recipe is to add the filling. Spoon a small amount of filling into each pepper, then smooth it out using the back of your spoon. You can serve your peppers as-is or sprinkle a little more everything bagel seasoning on top for garnish.
