Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 4–5 firm, fresh celery stalks
  • 8 oz softened cream cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Celery: Wash and dry the celery stalks thoroughly. Trim the ends and cut each stalk into 3 to 4-inch pieces depending on your preferred bite size.
  2. Make the Filling: In a small bowl, combine softened cream cheese, finely chopped chives, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
  3. Stuff the Celery: Using a butter knife or piping bag, pipe or spoon the cream cheese mixture into the groove of each celery piece, spreading evenly from one end to the other.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle extra chives, cracked black pepper, or your favorite toppings over the filled celery for visual appeal and added flavor, then serve immediately or chill for enhanced freshness.

Notes

  • Soften cream cheese by letting it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes for easier mixing and spreading.
  • Choose crisp, fresh celery for maximum crunch and flavor.
  • Use a piping bag for a neater, more professional presentation.
  • Keep bites chilled until serving to maintain texture and freshness.
  • Customize toppings with herbs, nuts, spices, or cheese variations to suit your taste.
