Ingredients
  

For the Avocado Base
  • 2 pieces Ripe Avocados Use ripe avocados for the best texture; they should yield slightly to pressure.
For the Bruschetta Mix
  • 2 pieces Roma Tomatoes Sweetness and juicy texture; substitute with vine-ripened tomatoes if needed.
  • 1 small Red Onion Adds sharp flavor; green onions can be used for a milder taste.
  • 1-2 cloves Garlic Enhances flavor; minced fresh garlic is preferable.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Provides richness and helps blend flavors; extra virgin is recommended.
  • 1 small handful Fresh Basil Offers a fragrant note; if unavailable, parsley or oregano can serve as substitutes.
For the Finishing Touches
  • to taste Balsamic Glaze A tangy drizzle that elevates flavors; store-bought or homemade reductions work beautifully.
  • to taste Parmesan Cheese Adds umami depth; nutritional yeast can substitute for a dairy-free option.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by finely chopping 2 Roma tomatoes and a small red onion, then place them in a mixing bowl. Add 1-2 cloves of minced garlic and a drizzle of 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Stir the mixture gently until everything is evenly combined, creating a colorful and aromatic blend. Let this sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.
  2. After allowing the bruschetta mixture to rest, season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste. Stir well once more to distribute the spices evenly throughout the mixture.
  3. While the bruschetta mixture infuses with flavor, halve 2 ripe avocados lengthwise and carefully remove the pits. Using a spoon, scoop out a small portion of the flesh from each half to create extra space for filling.
  4. Spoon the bruschetta mixture generously into each avocado half, ensuring an even distribution. Fill until the mixture is heaping slightly over the sides.
  5. Drizzle a luscious balsamic glaze over the stuffed avocados, allowing it to cascade and enhance the colorful toppings. For an extra layer of flavor, garnish with fresh basil leaves and a scattering of shaved Parmesan cheese if desired.
  6. Once assembled, serve your Bruschetta Stuffed Avocado immediately to maintain the freshness of the ingredients.
