"After my FH underwent emergency oral surgery I had to come up with a yummy dinner that would go down easy and be a snap to make with what I had in the fridge. A lovely, creamy treat that's complimented by gorgonzola."

Great flavours, however, due to the potatoes turning green (from the avocado) I'm not sure I'd feel comfortable serving guests with this one. My hubby & I really enjoyed them though. Only changes I made was I cut back the salt & butter. Also substituted shredded feta for the cheese. I mixed it right into potatoes & then put into a casserole dish, sprinkled with essence spice (instead of pepper flakes) & cooked abit/kept warm in the oven till we were ready to eat.
