Directions
- Cut the avocados in half and remove the pits carefully. Use a spoon to scoop out a small amount of flesh from each half to create more room for stuffing.
- Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and place them in a medium bowl. Add the mozzarella balls and basil leaves to the bowl and gently toss to combine.
- Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic glaze. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, and toss again to evenly coat the ingredients.
- Carefully spoon the tomato and mozzarella mixture into each avocado half, ensuring each one is equally filled.
- Optionally, drizzle with a little more balsamic glaze before serving for an extra burst of flavor.
