Instructions
Prepare the Peppers
- Start by slicing your mini peppers in half lengthwise and removing any seeds.
- Lay them out on a serving platter or sheet pan in a single layer so they rest flat.
Mix the Cheese
- Mix the fat-free feta cheese with the light Laughing Cow cheddar cheese wedges in a small bowl.
- Use a fork to press the feta and wedge pieces until the mixture looks almost smooth with small chunks for texture.
Warm the Cheese Mixture Slightly and Mix
- Pop the bowl with the cheese mixture into the microwave for about 30 seconds to soften the cheese.
- Add the everything bagel seasoning and chili crunch and mix again until well combined.
Stuff the Peppers
- Using a spoon, fill the pepper halves with some of the cheese mixture.
- Press the mixture gently into each half so it sits nicely and looks glossy.
Serve and Enjoy
- Your stuffed mini peppers are ready to eat! Serve them immediately and enjoy the burst of flavors in every bite.
- Garnish with a sprinkle of herbs or green onions if you'd like to add a pop of color.
Notes
If you prefer a slightly warm filling, place the stuffed peppers under a broiler for 1 to 2 minutes. Fresh herbs look best when added just before serving.
