In a bowl combine the first 7 ingredients. Combine flour baking powder and salt. Add to the  cheese mixture and is well. Transfer to a well greased quiche pan or pie pan.

COBB MANSION GUACAMOLE 

 1 Tlb olive oil 

 1 clove garlic 

 1 Serrano or Anaheim chili (deseeded and deveined) chili is optional 

 1 small bunch of green onions 

 1 tsp sea salt 

 1/4 cup of fresh cilantro, well packed 

 1 Mexican limon (key lime) 

 3-4 ripe avocados 

 Freshly ground pepper. 

Measure out the olive oil in to a “molcajete” (or medium bowl), add the garlic, and grind with the  molcajete pestle. Add the chili and the green onions and grind some more. Add the salt and  cilantro and grind some more. Squeeze in the juice of the lime and gently crush the avocado with  the pestle, mixing it in with the other ingredients. (We like our guacamole slightly chunky) Taste  and adjust if needed. Cut one firm Roma tomato into small chunks and mix into the guacamole.  Add a little bit of freshly ground pepper.  

Although you can try and grind the ingredients in a food processor or blender using a molcajete  and it’s pestle (found at a Mexican grocery store, or maybe Amazon) releases the the flavors and  aromas best.
