Need outside validation

I've been told I've got an overly broad sense of taste. I like a lot of different types of food. This is my take on an avocado smash. I add a base of cream cheese and top with fresh ground pepper. Could someone make this and provide feedback? Thank you (toast is fine I just prefer my homemade lintel wafers)

  • Avocado doesn’t go with cream cheese, they’re both rich in fats. You want to let the avocado shine through.

    Salt and pepper are good, but I like to add something with sweetness or acidity such as tomatoes or balsamic vinegar.

  • I'd scarf that so quickly, you'd ask me if I'd actually tasted it.

    I'll give it a shot tomorrow - anniversary dinner in a couple hours.

  • As others have said, ditch the cream cheese. It needs an acid like lemon juice or red wine vinegar. I would reduce the black pepper and add something with more flavour like red chile or jalapeños. I also like to top it with fresh whole cilantro or parsley for both flavour and texture. You could also use something like diced radish.

    Pickled red onions are also easy and will take you far.

  • I would eat this in a heartbeat. I could also add some smoked salmon, capers, onions, a fried egg, and/or tomatoes. Or just like you made it! Don't let other people bring down your creativity in the kitchen. If you like it, you like it!

  • I definitely am going to try this. It sounds bomb as is, but also very open to having other additions for even more flavor synergy. 🤤

    What's a lintel wafer, though? Thought it was a bagel from the image, but I want the full experience and I've never heard of those.

    • In a blender 2 cups red lintels, 4.5 cups water, 2 TBS coconut floor, soak overnight, add 2 eggs, 1/2 cup olive oil, 2 tsp baking powder, blend, cook in small waffle maker for 15 min. Edit: keto friendly
