mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: low-fat mozzarella

Low-fat mozzarella reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.

Start by making a quick tomato sauce with olive oil in a pan.

Add roughly chopped garlic and onion to the pan.

Season with black pepper and a touch of salt.

Add dried oregano and smoked paprika to the mixture.

Cook the onion and garlic on medium heat for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

Add one can of roughly chopped plum tomatoes to the pan.

Let the sauce simmer on medium heat for about 5-6 minutes.

Stir in some fresh parsley and optional chili for added flavor.

Turn off the heat and mix in a little grated Parmesan cheese into the sauce.

Prepare an oven-safe dish by adding a touch of sauce to the bottom.

Cut the avocado in half and remove the pit, placing the halves in the dish.

Spoon more sauce over the avocado halves.

Top the avocados with grated mozzarella cheese and a little Parmesan cheese.

Preheat the oven to the highest heat possible.

Sprinkle some oregano and smoked paprika on top of the cheese.

Bake in the oven for about 15-20 minutes until the cheese is golden brown and melted.
