Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb mini bell peppers mixed colors
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons Everything Bagel Seasoning

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking Sheet
  • Medium Bowl

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Wash and slice each mini bell pepper in half lengthwise, removing seeds and membranes, then place cut-side up on a baking sheet.
Filling
  1. In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper, mixing until smooth and thoroughly incorporated.
Assembly
  1. Fill each pepper half generously with the cream cheese mixture using a small spoon or piping bag.
  2. Sprinkle each stuffed pepper with Everything Bagel Seasoning, gently pressing it to ensure it adheres.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the peppers are tender-crisp and the cheese filling is warm and lightly bubbly.
Serving
  1. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving, as the filling will be hot.

Notes

For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the cream cheese mixture. These also make great leftovers when reheated in a toaster oven or air fryer.
