Directions

1. Bring a small amount of salted water to a boil.
2. Add your sliced celery.(I cut it on the bias)Cook for no more than 8 minutes. You want it to stay crunchy.

4. Place in a sprayed 9x9 casserole.
5. Combine the breadcrumbs, almonds and melted butter and sprinkle over the top.
6. Bake at 350F 20 minute until it bubbles.
7. PS: If you can buy PANKO(Asian Breadcrumbs), use those instead of the soft breadcrumbs.
8. The recipe is very old, and Pankowas not available.
