Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, stir together cream cheese, pepperoni, mozzarella, 1 tablespoon basil and salt.

Fill each of the bell pepper halves with about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture.

Arrange peppers on prepared baking sheet and bake until cheese is beginning to bubble and brown, 18-20 minutes.

Garnish with remaining basil.

Let cool slightly before serving.
