How To Eat Bell Pepper Sandwiches

Bell peppers are a popular TikTok recipe, and if you ever tried them, you know they are not the easiest thing to eat "sandwiched". It's much better (and less messy) if you eat the stuffed pepper halves separately. You can press the halves together in case you want to pack them with you for lunch but separate them before eating.

2. Cut the bell peppers in half and remove the seeds.

3. Spread the cream cheese inside each half and then top with everything bagel seasoning. (To make your own, see recipe tips above.)

   

4. Top with smoked salmon and avocado. They can be stored in the fridge for up to a day.

   

5. To pack for lunch for later, press the halves together, wrap and place in an airtight container. When ready to serve, simply separate the halves or cut the whole sandwich in half. (Note that eating bell pepper sandwiches this way can get messy.)
