1 cup cherry tomatoes
1 cup mozzarella balls
¼ cup basil leaves
2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
1 tablespoon olive oil

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.

3.
Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic glaze. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, and toss again to evenly coat the ingredients.
4.
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.
