Ingredients


Balsamic glaze
½ cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoon brown sugar
Stuffed avocados
½ cup cherry tomatoes
2 tablespoon basil, fresh, chopped (more for garnish)
½ cup Mozzarella pearls
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 avocados, large

Instructions


Make brown sugar balsamic glaze
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. The glaze will visibly thicken and, once ready.
You should be able to easily drag a wooden spoon through the sauce and it will not immediately flood the space. Remove from the heat and leave to cool.
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!
