Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 4 ripe avocados halved and pitted
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 8 oz fresh mozzarella balls halved
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves thinly sliced

Balsamic Glaze

  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1 In a small saucepan, combine the balsamic vinegar and honey. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  2. 2 Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer until it thickens to a glaze-like consistency, about 8-10 minutes. Stir occasionally.
  3. 3 Remove the glaze from heat and let it cool slightly. Add salt and pepper, and stir to combine.
  4. 4 Meanwhile, prepare the avocados by cutting them in half and removing the pits. Use a spoon to gently scoop out some of the flesh to create a larger cavity for stuffing.
  5. 5 In a medium bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, mozzarella balls, and sliced basil.
  6. 6 Stuff each avocado half with the tomato and mozzarella mixture, pressing gently to fit.
  7. 7 Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the stuffed avocados.
  8. 8 Serve immediately, garnished with extra basil leaves if desired.
