Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Bell Peppers
  • 4 tbsp Cream Cheese
  • 2 tsp Mustard
  • 4 Pickled Cucumbers (cut into quarters)
  • 4 slices Ham
  • 1/2 bunch Arugula
  • 1/2 Avocado (sliced)
  • 4 tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 2 tsp Sesame Seeds

Method
 

  1. Cut bell peppers into four pieces on each side to make a "bread" for the keto sandwich.
  2. Remove and discard the pith.
  3. Fill all parts of the bell peppers with 1/2 tablespoon of cream cheese. Set half of them aside.
  4. Fill the rest of the bell pepper parts with 1/2 teaspoon mustard.
  5. Then evenly layer the rest of the ingredients - pickles, ham, arugula, and avocado.
  6. Drizzle them with lemon juice and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  7. Cover with the other bell pepper parts.

Notes

- Use firm, fresh bell peppers for the best crunch and structural integrity. Red or yellow peppers tend to be sweeter. - Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature for easier spreading. - For a different flavor, try adding a slice of cheddar cheese or a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning before assembling. - Store any leftover assembled bell pepper sandwich in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day; the peppers can get soft over time.
