- 4 ounces vegan cream cheese
- 1/4 cup vegan cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon chives

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Slice each pepper in half, length-wise. Onto a baking sheet, arrange the peppers in an even layer.

- Spoon the sausage and cheese mixture into each of the peppers.
- Bake 15 minutes.
