Why You'll Love These Everything Bagel Stuffed Mini Peppers...

• These Everything Bagel Stuffed Mini Peppers are pure perfection.  They make the perfect healthy snack or appetizer in only 4 ingredients.
• They start with those pretty and colorful mini bell peppers you see in the store.  The crispy and healthy peppers are perfectly delicious and crunchy as a raw snack BUT I like to take it up a notch with a combination of cream cheese and plain Greek yogurt.
• They look fancy but are super easy to make.
• The real flavor POP comes when you sprinkle a hearty dose of Everything But the Bagel Seasoning.  Buy it at ALDI or Trader Joes OR make your own version with my DIY recipe here.
• This is a party of game day appetizer you can feel good eating because the bell peppers are rich in vitamins C, A, B6, Potassium, Magnesium, Calcium, and Iron.  Plus Greek yogurt has probiotics and protein.
• They are only 150 calories a serving!

Ingredients In the Cream Cheese Stuffed Mini Peppers:

You know I love a good 4-ingredient recipe and these Cream Cheese Stuffed Mini Peppers are so good. Here's an overview of what you'll need to make them, but keep scrolling for the full recipe amount

• Sweet Mini Bell Peppers: You'll want to use the bagged mini sweet peppers or baby bell peppers that are sold in the produce section.
• Whipped Cream Cheese: I like using whipped cream cheese for a lighter texture.  You can also use softened cream cheese.
• Plain Greek Yogurt: You can make this recipe with just cream cheese BUT I like adding Greek yogurt for a more complex flavor and added nutrients like probiotics.
• Everything But the Bagel Seasoning: Buy one at the store or follow my simple recipe to make your own.  It's a combination of white and black sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic powder onion, and sea salt flakes.

Are mini sweet peppers the same as bell peppers?

Kind of! They are in the same family as bell peppers but are smaller and sweeter.  The colors are also more vibrant making them super nutritious.

How do you eat mini sweet peppers raw?

YES! You might have noticed this recipe isn't baked but raw.  Eating raw mini peppers is actually the most nutritious way to enjoy them because they can lose some of their nutrients in the cooking process.  The seeds are even edible, although I do suggest you remove them before making these Cream Cheese Stuffed Mini Peppers.

How to Make the Cream Cheese Stuffed Mini Peppers:

This is an overview of the instructions to make this Everything Bagel Cream Cheese Stuffed Peppers, but the full detailed printable recipe is below in the recipe card.

1. Wash and prep the mini peppers by cutting each one in half.  Carefully remove any seeds or inner parts of the pepper. Pat the peppers dry and lay the pepper baby peppers halves on a tray in a single layer.
2. Next, you will make the filling. In a mixing bowl, mix the cream cheese and Greek yogurt.
3. Carefully stuff each mini pepper with the cream cheese mixture.
4. Sprinkle the everything bagel seasoning on top of the cream cheese filling.

How to store the Cream Cheese Stuffed Mini Peppers:

These are best enjoyed immediately but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. I would not freeze these as they would be soggy when you thaw them out.

Variations of Cream Cheese Stuffed Mini Peppers:

I love this recipe as is BUT here are some fun variations to try.

• Mix up the Spices: You can easily mix up the seasoning on these Cream Cheese Stuffed Mini Peppers.  Italian seasoning, Taco seasoning, Cajun Seasoning, Blackening Seasoning, or even paprika would be great.  Any fresh herbs you have would also be lovely.
• Make them Spicy: Make them spicy by adding diced pickled or fresh jalapeños.
• Add other Toppings: You can elevate these even more with other toppings like diced tomato, green onion, smoked salmon, fresh chives, avocado, bacon, or diced cucumber.
• Mix up the Cheese: You can substitute the cream cheese or soft goat cheese.
• Add More Cheese: Sprinkle your favorite shredded cheese on top like mozzarella cheese, pepper jack, parmesan cheese, or cheddar cheese.
• Make them Vegan: Make this vegan by using a dairy-free cream cheese substitute.
• Make them Oven Baked: Make these warm and bake them by cooking them on a baking sheet at 400 degrees to 10 minutes.  You can also cook them in the air fryer at 375 degrees for 6 minutes.
