Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 whole Celery ribs
- 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, finely shredded
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 ounce Pimientos, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Smoked paprika
- 0.125 teaspoons Cayenne pepper (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Rinse the celery ribs thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Trim both ends of the celery ribs and cut each rib into 3-inch sections. Set them aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, chopped pimientos, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper.
Using a fork or a rubber spatula, mix the ingredients until the pimiento cheese spread is smooth and evenly incorporated.
Using a small spoon or a piping bag, fill the hollow of each celery rib with the pimiento cheese mixture.
Arrange the stuffed celery ribs on a serving platter.
For an optional garnish, sprinkle a pinch of additional smoked paprika or finely chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley or chives) over the filled celery ribs.
Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy!
