Prep Time

This Celery Cream Cheese Grilled Cheese is one of those sandwiches that doesn’t seem like it should work, but somehow, it just does. The combination of cream cheese, cheddar, and a celery-carrot blend creates a rich, savory filling with just the right amount of saltiness. Celery salt brings out a subtle, almost refreshing note that pairs beautifully with melted cheese, while the Carrot Spreggies add a hint of sweetness and depth. It’s a different take on grilled cheese, but once you try it, you might just find yourself making it again.

Directions

  1. Prepare the Bread:

    Brush one side of each slice of bread with coconut oil, making sure the surface is evenly coated for a crispy, golden crust.

  2. Make the Celery-Carrot Mixture:

    In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon Carrot Spreggies, 1/4 teaspoon celery salt, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, and 2 tablespoons water. Stir until it forms a smooth, spreadable paste. If it’s too thick, add a little more water; if it’s too thin, sprinkle in a bit more Carrot Spreggies. The mixture will taste slightly salty on its own, but once combined with the cheese, it blends in perfectly.

  3. Assemble the Sandwich:

    Spread the carrot-celery mixture evenly over the unbrushed side of one slice of bread. On the other slice, spread 2 tablespoons of cream cheese, then layer cheddar cheese slices over the top, making sure to cover the surface. Press the two slices together with the fillings inside.

  4. Pre-Melt the Cheese (Optional):

    For a smoother, meltier texture, microwave the assembled sandwich for 30 seconds before grilling. This helps the cheese soften without overcooking the bread in the pan.

  5. Grill the Sandwich:

    Heat a pan over medium heat and place the sandwich in the pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, pressing down lightly with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and crisp and the cheese has melted.

  6. Serve and Enjoy:

    Let the sandwich cool for a moment before slicing. The combination of warm, creamy cheese and the subtle flavor of celery makes this a surprisingly addictive twist on grilled cheese.
