Notes
- For a dairy-free version, substitute with plant-based cream cheese and yogurt.
- Can be prepared a few hours in advance and refrigerated; add seasoning just before serving to maintain crunch.
- Add chopped fresh herbs like chives or dill into the filling for extra freshness.
- Mini bell peppers come in assorted colors—choose red, yellow, orange, and green for a vibrant presentation.
- Adjust everything bagel seasoning quantity to preference for more or less saltiness and crunch.
