# Instructions:
01 -
Slice each avocado in half lengthwise and remove the pit, leaving some flesh attached to the skin to provide structure for the filling.
02 -
In a mixing bowl, gently mix the halved cherry tomatoes, halved mozzarella balls, and chopped fresh basil.
03 -
Drizzle extra virgin olive oil and 1 tablespoon of balsamic glaze over the mixture, then season with salt and pepper. Toss lightly to evenly coat.

Finish by drizzling the remaining balsamic glaze over the filled avocados and garnish with extra fresh basil if desired. Serve immediately.
# Notes:

Choose avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure—overly soft ones may not hold the filling well.
