Notes

  • Prep Peppers: Wash, slice, and remove seeds and membranes. Store in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to stuff.
  • Make Filling Ahead: Mix the cream cheese and cheddar filling up to 2 days in advance. Refrigerate and let soften slightly before using.
  • Stuff Before Serving: For best texture, stuff peppers a few hours before serving to keep them crisp.
  • Season Last: Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning right before serving to maintain crunch.
  • Keep Chilled: For picnics or outdoor events, store stuffed peppers in a cooler with ice packs until ready to serve.
