Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 8 mozzarella balls (bocconcini)
  • 3 fresh basil leaves, chopped
  • 6 cherry tomatoes, halved
  • Balsamic glaze, for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Prepare Avocados: Cut each avocado in half and carefully scoop out a little extra flesh from the center to create a larger cavity for the filling.
  2. Fill with Caprese Ingredients: Place mozzarella balls and halved cherry tomatoes into the hollowed avocado halves, evenly distributing them among all halves.
  3. Add Basil and Drizzle: Sprinkle the chopped basil leaves over the filled avocados, then drizzle with balsamic glaze for a tangy, sweet finish.
  4. Serve Immediately: Enjoy the Caprese stuffed avocados fresh to best experience their creamy, fresh, and vibrant flavors.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm avocados to ensure they hold their shape.
  • Fresh mozzarella balls work best for authentic Caprese taste.
  • Serve immediately to prevent avocados from browning.
  • Optionally, add a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper for extra flavor.
  • Balsamic glaze can be replaced with balsamic vinegar reduction if unavailable.
