👩‍🍳 STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

1. Prepare the avocados

Slice the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pits.

If the cavity is small, gently scoop out a little extra avocado flesh to create space for the filling.

Place the avocado halves on a serving plate.

Tip:
A spoon works better than a knife for widening the cavity without damaging the avocado shape.

2. Toss the Caprese filling

In a mixing bowl combine:

• • Cherry tomatoes

• • Mozzarella pearls

• • Pesto

• • Olive oil

Toss gently until the mozzarella and tomatoes are lightly coated.

Season with salt and black pepper.

Tip:
Tossing mozzarella with pesto first ensures every bite carries basil flavor instead of having pesto only on top.

3. Fill the avocados

Spoon the Caprese mixture into the avocado halves.

Allow the filling to mound slightly above the avocado for a beautiful presentation.

Tip:
Use a slotted spoon so extra oil stays in the bowl.

4. Finish with balsamic glaze

Drizzle balsamic glaze over the stuffed avocados.

Add fresh basil leaves.

Serve immediately.

Tip:
A zig-zag drizzle looks beautiful and balances the pesto with a sweet tang.
