My mother took one bite and bolted towards me, eager to know the recipe

Directions

1. Slice the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pits. Gently scoop out a bit of the flesh from each half to create a larger cavity for the filling, and set the scooped flesh aside.
2. In a bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, mozzarella balls, and chopped basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and drizzle with the extra virgin olive oil.
3. Gently stir the mixture until everything is evenly coated.
4. Spoon the tomato and mozzarella mixture into the avocado halves, filling each cavity generously.
5. Drizzle the filled avocados with balsamic glaze for an extra burst of flavor.
6. Optionally, chop the scooped avocado flesh and mix it in with the filling or save it for another use.
7. Serve immediately, enjoying the wonderful combination of fresh ingredients.
Variations & Tips
For a different twist, try adding a sprinkle of pine nuts or sunflower seeds for some added crunch. If you’re a fan of heat, a touch of red pepper flakes can give the dish a nice kick. You can also swap out the cherry tomatoes for sun-dried tomatoes for a more intense flavor. For vegetarians, you can add cooked quinoa or chickpeas to the filling for a protein boost.
