CREAMY AVOCADO PIE

Creamy Avocado Pie image

This is a very rich, creamy pie my mom used to make over 40 years ago for her St. Patrick's Day parties. I make a low-fat version of this for my family by replacing the ingredients with non-fat or low-fat creams.

Yield 8-10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

PIE
3-4 ripe avocadoes - mashed until smooth and lump-free
juice of half a large lemon
sea salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste
4-6 green onions - finely sliced
1 and 1/3 cups small cooked shrimp - rinsed, drained, and dried
6 large eggs - hard-boiled, peeled and finely chopped
1/2-2/3 cup cream cheese - softened and whipped
1/2-2/3 cup sour cream
fine zest of half a large lemon
GARNISHES
1/3 cup finely minced, fresh curly parsley
3-4 tablespoons black or red caviar - drained and dried
a few thin lemon slices - cut in half and twisted

Steps:

In a small bowl, combine mashed avocadoes, lemon juice, salt and pepper until well blended. Evenly spread in a 9-10 inch ceramic quiche pan or glass deep-dish pie plate. Evenly sprinkle the green onions over the avocadoes and press down gently. Layer the shrimp evenly atop the green onions and press down gently. Spread the eggs evenly over the shrimp and press down gently. Add the sour cream and lemon zest to the cream cheese and whisk until well blended/smooth. Carefully spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the egg layer and seal to the pan edges. With the back of a spoon, make swirls in the cream cheese mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 3-4 hours. Just before serving (to prevent unsightly bleeding), evenly sprinkle minced parsley and caviar on top of the pie and arrange the twisted lemon slices. Place a fancy spoon in the pie and serve with your preference of crackers and/or breads.
