Goat Cheese Guacamole

Ya’ll this dip is soo good! Goat cheese guacamole has been an obsession of mine for years, and I totally forgot about it until last week. This recipe was inspired by a cheeseburger topping that we would make during summer cookouts. It’s made with creamy avocados, jalapeno and onion for crunch, and of course goat cheese!

Ok, avocados are kind of an obsession of mine. Anyone else? I seriously put them on everything and love to experiment with different ways to use them. This goat cheese guacamole came about from a burger we made one summer years ago. I saw someone stuffing their burgers with goat cheese and topped it with slices of avocado and thought it sounded delicious. The only problem was I haven’t mastered how to make a successful burger yet- haha. So, instead of attempting to stuff a burger and risk it crumbling and falling apart like always, I decided to make a guacamole. And I’m so glad I did!

How to Make Goat Cheese Guacamole

1. Start with pitting and scooping out some ripe avocados into a serving bowl.

2. Add in diced onion and jalapeno and mix together.

3. Add the crumbled goat cheese and mash the avocado mixture really well.

4. Add a little lime juice and salt– Serve it up!

Variations

Onions: I prefer to use red onion in this recipe, but I think diced white onion could work as well. I’ve never used white onion in this recipe, but it would definitely change the flavor of the guacamole since white onions are so strong. Just something to keep in mind.

Not a fan of heat? Feel free to leave out the jalapeno or deseed it if you just want the jalapeno flavor.

Can I add garlic? Yes! Garlic is a perfect component in guacamole. If you do decide to add garlic, make sure to use fresh and add however much makes your heart happy.

How do I serve goat cheese guacamole? We personally love to eat this dip with homemade pita chips, tortilla chips, and if you’re feeling adventurous, try adding it on top of a grilled burger or your favorite sandwich.
