Helpful Tips For Making The Best Bell Pepper Sandwich

  1. Pick the Right Peppers: Choose bell peppers that are firm and have a flat bottom so they stay stable and are easier to fill.
  2. Customize the Spread: Feel free to get creative with the cream cheese mixture. You can add herbs, garlic, or even a bit of hot sauce if you like a kick.
  3. Keep It Crunchy: To maintain the crunchiness of the bell peppers, assemble the sandwich right before you plan to eat it. If you need to prep ahead, keep the components separate until you’re ready to assemble.
  4. Upgrade Your Avocado: For an extra creamy texture, consider adding a small amount of Greek yogurt or sour cream to the mashed avocado.
