Main Ingredients

2 pieces ripe avocados Choose ripe avocados for best flavor.
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved Grape tomatoes can be used as a substitute.
1 cup fresh mozzarella balls (bocconcini) You can substitute with feta or goat cheese.
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped Include whole leaves for garnish.
1 tablespoon balsamic glaze Can be substituted with lemon juice or olive oil.
to taste Salt and pepper Adjust seasoning according to preference.
as needed Olive oil Drizzle for extra flavor.

Preparation

Start by halving the avocados. Gently scoop out a little bit more flesh to create a nice bowl for the filling.
In a bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, mozzarella balls, and chopped basil. Toss in the balsamic glaze, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Give everything a gentle stir.
Fill the halved avocados with the tomato and mozzarella mixture, ensuring an even distribution.
Top each stuffed avocado with a whole basil leaf and drizzle a little more balsamic glaze if desired.
Serve immediately, optionally with a side of whole-grain crackers or a salad.

Consider storing filling separately to prevent browning of avocados. Also, cherry tomatoes can save time on chopping.
