Ingredients
Scale
For the Stuffed Avocados:
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Balsamic Glaze:
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional for sweetness)
Instructions
Prepare the Ingredients
- Slice the Avocados: Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop out some of the flesh to create space for the filling. Be sure to leave a bit of avocado around the edges for structure.
- Prepare the Tomatoes and Basil: Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and chop the fresh basil leaves. Set aside.
Make the Balsamic Glaze
- Simmer the Glaze: In a small saucepan, combine the balsamic vinegar and honey (if using). Heat over medium-low heat and let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes until the mixture thickens to a syrupy consistency. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
Stuff the Avocados
- Fill the Avocados: In a small bowl, toss the halved cherry tomatoes and chopped basil with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Gently spoon this mixture into the hollowed-out avocado halves.
- Drizzle with Glaze: Once the avocados are filled, drizzle each with a little balsamic glaze for that extra burst of flavor.
Serve and Enjoy
- Serve Immediately: Serve your Caprese Stuffed Avocados right away for the freshest taste. You can garnish with a few extra basil leaves if desired for a pretty presentation.
