- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 slices Whole wheat bread
- 2 tablespoons Butter

Directions
Step 1
Drain and rinse the artichoke hearts and hearts of palm. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Finely chop the celery stalk and green onions, adding them to the bowl with the artichoke and hearts of palm.
Step 4
Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Stir until well combined.
Step 5
Butter one side of each slice of whole wheat bread.
Step 6
Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Step 7
Place four slices of bread, butter side down, into the skillet.
Step 8
On each bread slice, layer one slice of cheddar cheese, followed by a generous portion of the artichoke mixture.
Step 9
Top with the second slice of bread, butter side up.
Step 10
Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.
Step 11
Carefully flip each sandwich and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the second side is golden and the cheese is fully melted.
Step 12
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, allow them to cool for a minute, then cut in half and serve warm.
