Stuffed Celery
Crunchy, fresh, and filled with herbed cream cheese, Stuffed Celery is a yummy after school snack or appetizer that's ready in 10 minutes.
Prep Time 10 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes
Ingredients
- 5 stalks celery 15, 3-inch pieces
- 8 ounce block cream cheese softened
- 2 teaspoons milk or cream optional, to soften
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh basil chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Wash and dry stalks of celery and cut each stalk into 3 pieces. Set aside. Note - They must be completely dry or the filling won’t stick.
- Add cream cheese and milk to a food processor and blend until smooth.
- Add the herbs, garlic powder, salt and pepper and pulse until combined.
- Stuff celery sticks with the cream cheese mixture, using a small spoon or spreader. Garnish with cracked black pepper and fresh chopped herbs, arrange on a platter and serve.
Notes
Once stuffed, these celery cream cheese bites can be refrigerated in an airtight container for 4-5 days. That said, I recommend eating them within 24 hours of stuffing them, as the celery stalks will lose their crunchiness over time.
