I would really like to try this recipe today, as I have a couple of avocados ready to use up. ncynomad is right about the fact that this is not a "fat free" recipe, although there's no added sugar....

You seem to have left the avocados out of the ingredient list. Also, not to split hairs but eggs, olives, buttermilk and avocados all contain fats so you can't really call this recipe "fat free".

The fat-free is too emphasize the absence of butter in the recipe but I guess you have a point. Will get rid of the 'fat-free'.
nycnomad July 14, 2014
To be honest, I think it looks all the better without the "fat-free". The recipe looks quite appetizing all on its own!

This is an intriguing recipe, but avocados are not included in the list of ingredients. Can you please indicate the amount?

Apologies for the oversight Ellen, I've added it now.
