Ingredients

2 ripe avocados

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup fresh mozzarella balls, halved

1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped

2 tablespoons balsamic glaze

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Prepare the Avocados: Cut the avocados in half and remove the pit. Using a spoon, gently scoop out a little of the flesh from each half, creating a larger cavity for the filling. Set the scooped avocado flesh aside.

Make the Filling: In a bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, halved mozzarella balls, and chopped basil. Add the scooped avocado flesh to the mixture, mashing it slightly with a fork.

Season: Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil and 1 tablespoon of balsamic glaze over the mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then gently fold everything together until well combined.

Stuff the Avocados: Generously spoon the Caprese filling into each avocado half, pressing lightly to secure the mixture.

Drizzle and Garnish: Finish by drizzling the remaining balsamic glaze over the top of the stuffed avocados for added flavor and a beautiful presentation.
