Stuffed avocados
- ½ cup cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoon basil, fresh, chopped (more for garnish)
- ½ cup Mozzarella pearls
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil

- In a small saucepan, set over a medium heat, add the balsamic vinegar and brown sugar. Heat to dissolve the sugar while stirring then bring to a simmer for 6-8 minutes.

Make the caprese
- Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and add them to a mixing bowl along with the chopped basil and mozzarella pearls. Pour the extra virgin olive oil into the bowl and mix to combine. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Cut each avocado in half and carefully remove the pit - then fill each hole with the caprese.
- Drizzle with the balsamic glaze. If needed, add some extra salt and pepper and some fresh basil leaves for garnish.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
