Stuffed English Cucumber

I took one of those long almost seedless cucumbers
that come all wrapped in plastic and stuffed it
with a combination of guacamole and ricotta cheese.
Baked it to make an attractive party appetizer.

Ingredients:
1 English cucumber
1 tablespoon honey
6 tablespoons prepared guacamole
6 tablespoons ricotta cheese
1 teaspoon cinnamon-sugar
dash of salt or to taste

Directions:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Remove plastic from cucumber and
cut it lengthwise in half.
Use a spoon to remove seeds
creating a place to place the stuffing.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil
and lower to simmer cucumbers until soft.
Remove cucumbers and pat dry with paper towels.
Drizzle inside of cucumber with honey.
Stuff cucumber with prepared guacamoli
then cover the guacamoli with a good amount
of ricotta cheese right out of the container.
Sprinkle the top of ricotta with salt and
some cinnamon sugar, place on baking sheet.
Bake for 45 minutes or until cheese is browned.
To serve cut stuffed and baked cucumber
into 1/2 inch slices, serve warm or cold.
