avocado cream cheese spread

This simple spread is wonderful for avocado toast, with a squiggle of balsamic glaze and a scattering of toasted pine nuts. It also compliments bagels. Or, serve it with rich multigrain crackers as an hors d'oeuvres. It comes together in minutes.

Ingredients:

• 1 hass avocado, shelled

• 3 ounces full fat Philadelphia cream cheese

• 1 tablespoon minced sweet onion

• zest and juice of 1/2 lime

• salt to taste

• a pinch (or more) Aleppo pepper

Method:

• Combine the avocado and cream cheese in a food processor and process until well combined. Stir in the rest of the ingredients.
