Nutritious and Delicious Avocado Cup Pizza Recipe
Easy and Tasty Avocado Cup Pizza
Hello everyone! Today, I’m excited to share a special recipe featuring avocado, often called ‘the butter of the forest’ – the Avocado Cup Pizza! Avocados are a versatile fruit, loved for their creamy texture and rich, nutty flavor, making them perfect for everything from salads and sandwiches to desserts. They are packed with vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats, offering both great taste and nutritional benefits. Particularly, they are cholesterol-free, sodium-free, and rich in fiber, which can be beneficial for weight management. They are also known to be excellent for eye health. This recipe is simple and quick to make, perfect for a satisfying snack or an elegant brunch dish. Shall we make this delicious Avocado Cup Pizza together right now?
Ingredients- 1/2 ripe avocado
- 1 Tbsp finely chopped onion
- 1 Tbsp finely chopped carrot
- 1 Tbsp canned corn, drained
- 1 Tbsp finely chopped cooked ham (e.g., sliced ham)
- 1.5 Tbsp tomato sauce (spaghetti sauce can be used)
- 1-2 Tbsp shredded pizza cheese
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Start by preparing your fresh avocado. Using a knife, carefully make an incision all the way around the center of the avocado.
Step 2
Gently twist the two halves of the avocado in opposite directions. They should separate easily.
Step 3
To remove the pit, carefully insert the tip of your knife into it and twist gently. To separate the flesh from the skin without damaging the skin, slide a thin spoon between the skin and the flesh and carefully scoop it out.
Step 4
This method cleanly separates the avocado flesh, leaving the skin intact, which will serve as a perfect edible cup for our pizza.
Step 5
Prepare the toppings for your pizza. Finely chop the onion, carrot, and cooked ham. Make sure to drain the canned corn thoroughly.
Step 6
In a medium bowl, place the scooped-out avocado flesh. Mash it gently with a fork or a mashing tool until it’s relatively smooth. Add the finely chopped onion, carrot, ham, and drained corn to the bowl. Stir in 1.5 tablespoons of tomato sauce. (You can use your favorite store-bought spaghetti sauce).
Step 7
Mix all the ingredients together thoroughly. You want a well-combined mixture where the creaminess of the avocado blends with the textures of the vegetables and ham.
Step 8
Carefully spoon the avocado mixture into the prepared avocado skin cups. Fill them generously but avoid overfilling.
Step 9
Now for the crowning glory of our Avocado Cup Pizza! Sprinkle a good amount of shredded pizza cheese over the top of the filling. Use 1 to 2 tablespoons, according to your preference.
Step 10
Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F). Place the filled avocado cups on a baking sheet and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden brown. Oven temperatures can vary, so keep an eye on them to prevent overcooking.
Step 11
And there you have it! Your Avocado Cup Pizzas are ready when the cheese is beautifully golden. If you don’t have an oven, you can also microwave them for about 5 minutes. Enjoy them hot for the best flavor!
