Description
Crisp mini sweet peppers filled with creamy feta, light cheddar cheese, everything bagel seasoning, and a touch of chili crunch. This quick no-cook snack delivers sweet, tangy, savory, and mildly spicy flavor in every bite.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 pound mini sweet peppers
- 1/4 cup fat-free feta cheese
- 2 light Laughing Cow cheddar cheese wedges
- 1 teaspoon everything bagel seasoning, plus more to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon chili crunch, oil drained
- Sliced green onions, parsley, or cilantro for garnish, optional
Instructions
- Wash and thoroughly dry the mini sweet peppers.
- Slice each pepper in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and thick white membranes.
- Arrange the pepper halves cut side up on a serving plate or sheet pan.
- Place the fat-free feta and Laughing Cow cheddar wedges in a small microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave the cheese mixture for about 30 seconds, just until softened.
- Stir the cheeses firmly with a fork until evenly combined.
- Add the everything bagel seasoning and drained chili crunch, then stir again.
- Taste the filling and add more everything bagel seasoning when desired.
- Spoon the cheese mixture evenly into each mini pepper half.
- Garnish with sliced green onions or fresh herbs and serve immediately.
Notes
- Dry the peppers thoroughly so the cheese filling stays in place.
- Drain most of the oil from the chili crunch to prevent a loose filling.
- Start with a small amount of everything bagel seasoning because the feta already tastes salty.
- Store the cleaned peppers and cheese filling separately for the best meal-prep texture.
- Refrigerate assembled leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- Do not freeze the stuffed peppers because the peppers may become watery after thawing.
