Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (14 oz) Artichoke hearts
- 1 can (14 oz) Hearts of palm
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- 1 stalk Celery
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 slices Whole wheat bread
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese
Instructions
Drain and rinse the artichoke hearts and hearts of palm. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
In a medium bowl, shred the artichoke hearts and hearts of palm using your fingers or a fork to mimic the texture of crab meat.
Finely chop the celery stalk and green onions, adding them to the bowl with the artichoke and hearts of palm.
Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Stir until well combined.
Butter one side of each slice of whole wheat bread.
Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Place four slices of bread, butter side down, into the skillet.
On each bread slice, layer one slice of cheddar cheese, followed by a generous portion of the artichoke mixture.
Top with the second slice of bread, butter side up.
Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.
Carefully flip each sandwich and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the second side is golden and the cheese is fully melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, allow them to cool for a minute, then cut in half and serve warm.
