Boy, do I love avocados! I mean, they not only taste incredible, but they’re also packed full of healthy fats and nutrients. What could be better than that?

I had never baked an avocado before this. At first, I was skeptical about the whole idea, but I came around super quick once I tried these. 

I cannot stress enough how incredible these are! They’re:

Super Creamy
Incredibly Soft
Deliciously cheesy
Savory
Filling
Full of healthy fats

These would make a perfect light lunch or dinner. 

I don’t see why you couldn’t also make thee for breakfast! I mean, who doesn’t like avocados for breakfast? All you would have to do is make the quinoa the night before.

The tomatoes and onion make these taste like guacamole.

The feta cheese makes these super delicious and cheesy. If you toast them long enough, the feta will start to brown on the top, which gives them a nice, robust taste.

If you’re a fan of guacamole, you’re gonna absolutely love these!
