I wanted to make the most of the cute avocado shape to make a miso-flavored dish that even kids who dislike avocados may enjoy. They like it a lot!

I've listed a decent amount of miso because the avocado itself isn't seasoned.
When using mozzarella or sliced cheese, make sure not to scatter on top of the edges of the avocado to prevent it from melting and running off. It's even more delicious if you scatter on parmesan cheese.
It's a great appetizer to enjoy with wine. For 2 servings. Recipe by Ikumihan

Steps

1

Slice the avocado in half. Cut a thin slice off the back of each half so it's easier to stabilize on a flat surface.
2

Put the tofu in a microwave-safe container. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave for 2 minutes at 600 W. Drain excess water. Heating the tofu quickens the draining.
3

Slice the ham into rectangles. Combine the miso into the drained tofu and dissolve fully. Also mix in the mayonnaise and pepper. Keep some ham back for decoration and mix the rest into the tofu.
4

Drizzle soy sauce over the avocado and pack the tofu filling inside. Make sure it's heaping. Top with ham in a criss-cross pattern, then scatter on a bit of cheese to cover it.
5

Bake for 5 minutes in a pre-heated toaster oven. Dish it up and serve when it's browned. Scatter on parsley if you like.

Tofu, miso, and avocado make the best pals!
