Servings   2-4
Preptime   15 min

Ingredients
2 ripe avocados
2 cups cooked quinoa
1 medium-sized tomato, diced
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
Salt and pepper, to taste
variation 2 ingredients
1 diced medium-sized sweet onion
2 pats of butter
 
1 clove of minced garlic
1 1/2 cups of Gruyere cheese
variation 3 ingredients
1 diced medium-sized sweet onion
2 pats of butter
1 clove of minced garlic
20 thawed baby shrimp
1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions
Variation 1 Baked Stuffed Avocados with Quinoa, Tomatoes and Feta Preheat oven to 375°F. Slice avocados lengthwise and remove the pit by gently tapping it with a large, sturdy kitchen knife. When the knife is slightly wedged in, very carefully twist and pull away from the fruit. With a smaller kitchen knife, carefully make criss-crosses in the avocado flesh, making sure not to break through the skin. Using a spoon, gently scoop out the avocado flesh and place in medium-sized bowl. Add cooked quinoa and diced tomato to the avocado pieces and gently mix together while preserving the chunks of flesh. For a creamier consistency, use more pressure when mixing to mash the avocado chunks. Place hollow avocado shells in baking dish, and carefully fill each with the mixture. Generously layer crumbled feta cheese over top and place in oven for 10-12 minutes or until cheese is sufficiently melted. Add salt and pepper to taste, then serve immediately.
Variation 2 Baked Stuffed Avocados with Onions and Gruyere- Sauté 1 diced medium-sized sweet onion with 2 pats of butter in a small skillet until translucent. Add 1 clove of minced garlic and stir frequently for 5-8 minutes until mixture is soft and slightly browned. Add to the avocado flesh, mix thoroughly, then spoon into avocado shells. Place them in a baking dish, top with 1 1/2 cups of Gruyere cheese and bake for 12-15 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
Variation 3 Baked Stuffed Avocados with Sautéed Shrimp, Onion and Parmesan- Sauté 1 diced medium-sized sweet onion with 2 pats of butter in a small skillet until translucent. Add 1 clove of minced garlic and stir frequently 5-8 minutes until the mixture is soft and slightly browned. Add to the avocado flesh, mix thoroughly, then spoon into avocado shells. Place 4-5 thawed baby shrimp in each shell, set them in a baking dish, and generously sprinkle with 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese. Bake for 12-15 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
