Heat up a skillet with oil over medium heat. Add onions and celery. Saute until translucent, then set aside to cool down completely.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together cream cheese and mayonnaise until evenly incorporated.

Add the cooled-down celery and fold until evenly incorporated.

Season to taste with salt and pepper and adjust accordingly.

Spread roughly 2 tbsp per loaf bread slice and serve as a cold starter. You may also warm your bread slices first before assembly and serve as a warm sandwich.
