Method
Prepare the Peppers
- Wash the mini peppers thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry with a paper towel. Slice each pepper lengthwise and carefully remove seeds and membranes, keeping the pepper halves intact.
Soften the Cream Cheese
- Allow cream cheese to sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes. Softened cream cheese mixes more smoothly and creates a creamier filling.
Make the Filling
- In a medium bowl, add cream cheese and Greek yogurt. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Add Seasonings and Cheese
- Stir in shredded cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until evenly combined. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Optional Add-Ins
- If using fresh herbs or everything bagel seasoning, fold them into the mixture at this stage.
Fill the Peppers
- Using a spoon or piping bag, fill each pepper half generously with the cheese mixture. Smooth the top for clean presentation.
Garnish
- Sprinkle extra seasoning or herbs on top if desired.
Serve or Chill
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for later use.
