For Miss Phode: Goat Cheese Guacamole

[MotherOfGizmo]

Ingredients:
4 avocados
5 oz. goat cheese (or cream cheese), softened
8 to 10 slices of bacon, cooked and chopped
1/2 cup mayonnaise
Juice of 1 lime
1 tomato, diced
4 scallions (green part only), diced fine
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:
Remove core from tomato and dice into small pieces. Put in a bowl with a few pinches of salt and pepper. Cover with plastic wrap and put in fridge for 1 hour.

Slice avocados in half then remove seed. Use the scoring method with a sharp knife to cut small cubes inside shell. Spoon meat from 2 of the avocados into a bowl and the other 2 into a food processor. Squeeze lime juice from 1/2 of your lime over the cubed pieces in the bowl and cover. Squeeze the other 1/2 over the avocado in the food processor.

In the food processor, add the cheese, mayonnaise, scallions and a few heavy pinches of salt and several turns of fresh cracked pepper. Pulse several times until smooth.

Take tomato out of fridge and drain off excess water. In a bowl, fold avocado mix from the food processor with the cooked bacon bits, drained tomato and remaining avocado chunks together.

Taste for seasoning.

When working with avocados, remember to move fast and be ready to serve them that day before they turn color on you. After making this dish, cover in plastic wrap and put in the fridge for up to four hours before serving. Push the wrap down over the mixture so it is well covered.

Thanks MOG. I'm not exactly sure how I feel about that recipe. Goat cheese and avocados are two of my favorite things, but I don't know about mixing the two.

If I get brave enough to try it, I'll let you know.

[MotherOfGizmo]

Yea, if you do try it let us know.

[Miss Phode]

Where did you find the recipe??

[MotherOfGizmo]

Uh, on a news website while I was looking for how to calculate how much raw spinach it took to equal the spinach in a 9 ounce package of frozen spinach, go figure. Sorry I didn't copy the link!

[Miss Phode]

I was just curious. Thanks

She's the "goat cheese" guinea pig! To be honest I've only tried goat cheese a couple of times and its one of the only cheeses in the world besides limburger that I didnt' care much for!

Isn't feta goat cheese? Maybe you don't like feta? I'm going to try this for sure. It will definitely be a hit at the margarita parties. Thanks Mog.

Feta is sheeps milk cheese. Goat cheese is goat cheese. I like both, but I think american feta is awful. I like Bulgarian or French feta. I'm such a feta snob. LOL
