1 ripe avocado, halved, pit removed and scored cross-wise
2 tbsp. salsa
8 oz. button mushrooms or baby bella mushrooms, stems carefully twisted off
small handful daiya pepperjack shreds
oil for drizzling (optional) olive, coconut, truffle or grapeseed
hot sauce and/or cilantro for serving (optional)
Instructions:

- make 'quickie guacamole' using avocado and prepared salsa
- arrange mushrooms, stems removed, hole side up on a baking sheet, stuff with guac, then top with pepperjack daiya and drizzle with oil if you like
- bake for 20-25 minutes, for extra crispy daiya cheese, turn the broiler on high and broil for about 5 minutes

Let them cool a little before eating or you will burn your mouth…I know it will be hard, but wait…trust me, I know this from experience.
