Avocado Cristo With Cherry Tomato Jam and Balsamic Reduction, Recipe courtesy Brent Wertz, Mohonk Mountain House in New Paltz, NY ”, I lightened it up quite a bit I used egg whites and super thin slices of sourdough for the cristo part I used stevia instead of sugar and heirloom tomato instead of the cherry tomatoes in the jam I am out of cilantro but that would have been AMAZING I love it I just reduced the balsamic vinegar with the tomatoes to save on calories The glaze would have been really pretty, I just didn’t want to dirty up more pans To lighten it up further, I used barely any cheese and 1/8 of an avocado DELICIOUS!!! I took a lot of liberties but holy moly is this so good The flavor combo is out of this world
