Description
A delightful twist on the classic Caprese salad, this Caprese Stuffed Avocado features creamy avocados filled with juicy tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and aromatic basil, drizzled with balsamic glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ripe avocados, halved and pitted
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup fresh mozzarella balls, halved or torn
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the avocados: Carefully slice the ripe avocados in half and remove the pit. Use a spoon to scoop out a small amount of the flesh to create a hollow space for the stuffing.
- Combine the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and chopped basil. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and toss everything together until evenly mixed.
- Stuff the avocados: Spoon the vibrant Caprese mixture generously into the hollowed-out avocado halves, allowing the filling to spill slightly over the edges.
- Add the finishing touch: Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the stuffed avocados, coating every bite with its sweet and tangy goodness.
- Serve and enjoy: These delightful bites are best enjoyed immediately while the avocados are fresh and creamy. Present your creation and relish the joy!
Notes
For extra flavor, consider adding crushed red pepper flakes or garlic powder. Store leftovers in airtight containers to maintain freshness.
