Ingredients
- 3 ripe avocados, halved and pitted

- 1 cup fresh mozzarella balls (bocconcini), halved
- ¼ cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 2 tbsp balsamic glaze
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cut the avocados in half and remove the pits. Carefully scoop out a small portion of the center to create more room for the filling.

- Spoon the tomato and mozzarella mixture into the center of each avocado half.
- Drizzle balsamic glaze over the stuffed avocados.
- Serve immediately, garnished with extra basil if desired.
Notes
-
Use ripe but firm avocados to hold the filling without collapsing.
-
Fresh basil makes a huge flavor difference—don’t skip it.
-
Balsamic glaze is sweeter and thicker than regular vinegar—perfect for drizzling.
-
Add protein like grilled chicken or shrimp for a more filling meal.
-
Assemble just before serving to keep the avocado fresh and vibrant.
