Carrie, 42, rose to fame after winning the fourth series of the hit singing competition in 2025.
She found huge success after releasing four number one albums in the US, while all of her other records reached the top 10.
The Grammy winner replaced Katy Perry, 40, last year as a judge on the show as she started to film the auditions round in September.
She now counts the likes of Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan as co-stars on the Ryan Seacrest fronted show.
As the contestants are whittled down in the live studio shows, Carrie has been enjoying a break during the week.
She has spent the time relaxing and by making food in her plush kitchen at her Nashville mansion she shares with husband Mike Fisher and their two sons.
The singer took to social media as she gave fans a behind the scenes sneak peek of her kitchen to her 13million Instagram followers.
Her large cooking area contains what looks like a pantry nook with white cabinets with grey counter tops with gold coloured handles.
An open arch with wooden panels opens up to a separate area with more matching wooden cabinets.
Carrie proudly showed off her culinary creation as she held a clear jar filled with Greek-style cheese.
As her dog Charlie looked on, she captioned the snap: “Made my own feta cheese! Yay!”
She added: “Charlie approves”
Previously, the U.S. Sun reported that Carrie was not the producers “first pick” to join the panel.
An insider claimed: “The network would kill for Luke Combs. He’s at the top of their list.

“He’s extremely relevant, successful, down to earth, and a family man.
“And he’s a true vocalist, not just a singer. He’s got a once-in-a-generation voice.
“He really is the perfect package for this show, but the panel cannot be three men so it wouldn’t work out with this current lineup.
“But if the panel does get shaken up more one day, that’s the dream.”
