Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium carrots
- 1 cup walnuts
- 4 tablespoons cream cheese
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
- 4 slices whole grain bread
- 2 teaspoons butter
Instructions
Peel and grate the carrots using a box grater or food processor. Set aside in a bowl.
Finely chop the walnuts or pulse them in a food processor until they are in small pieces. Add to the bowl with the carrots.
In a separate small bowl, mix the cream cheese, honey, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Add the cream cheese mixture to the carrots and walnuts, and stir until everything is evenly coated.
Butter one side of each slice of bread (optional, for grilling).
Spread the carrot-nut mixture onto two slices of bread, covering evenly.
Top with the remaining slices of bread to form sandwiches.
If desired, grill the sandwiches in a skillet over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden and toasted.
Slice the sandwiches in half and serve warm or at room temperature.
