Air Fryer Stuffed Avocado -- Ready to transform the humble avocado into a culinary masterpiece?
Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados
- 2 large eggs,
- 1/4 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Begin by cutting the avocados in half and removing the pits. Scoop out a bit of the flesh to create more room for the filling, if necessary.
- Lightly season the avocado halves with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings like garlic powder or a squeeze of lemon juice.
- Mix your chosen filling ingredients in a bowl. This could be a combination of cooked meats, beans, vegetables, and cheese. Season the mixture according to your preference.
- Spoon the filling into the cavity of each avocado half, pressing gently to pack it in.
- Preheat your air fryer to approximately 350°F (175°C).
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Place the stuffed avocado halves in the basket, cut side up.
- Air fry for about 5-8 minutes, or until the filling is heated through and slightly golden on top.
- Once done, carefully remove the stuffed avocados from the air fryer.
- Add any additional toppings like a dollop of sour cream, salsa, or a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
- Serve immediately while they are warm and delicious!

Notes
Tips:
- Don't Overstuff: Avoid overfilling the avocados as the contents might spill out during cooking.
- Filling Variations: Get creative with your fillings - the options are endless and can be tailored to dietary preferences.
- Ripe Avocados: Use avocados that are ripe but still firm enough to hold their shape during cooking.
