Avocado `parmigiana’

I was inspired to make these from a web hop and now can’t remember where I saw it (if anyone knows please leave a link in the comments so I can give credit where credit’s due).

I’d been to my favourite fruit and veg shop and picked up some mini avocados for a good price. They are the perfect size for the below recipe. I had Miss Ames and Miss Kooks home from school and kinder and thought I would make them something a bit different.

Ingredients:

1 avocado per person (mini are great for kids)
Ham, shaved
Grated cheese
Salt & pepper to taste

• Halve, take out the stone and peel the avocado.
• Place avocado halves onto a tray lined with baking paper.
• Put into an oven for 10 mins on 180 C
• Slice ham and grate cheese.
• Take avocados out of the oven and top with ham and cheese.
• Return to the oven for 5 minutes or till the cheese is melted.
• Serve hot.

Sharon’s notes:
Because the bottoms of these are rounded they are shaky on the tray. If they aren’t too mushy then slice a bit of the rounded bit off to stabilize them. There are many possible variations on these and one is to add olives (by request.)

Judith’s notes:

Love this with some lime juice squeezed on them.

Verdict:
I have done these a few times now and each time they were eaten in no time. With the exception of Miss Mac all my girls have eaten them and loved them.
