Instructions
- Cut avocados in half, remove seeds and carefully peel away skin.
- Dip avocado into beaten egg, then into ground macadamia nuts.
- Rather than move the avocado half around too much, it is easier to toss the nuts over it with a spoon.
- Fry in shallow oil on both sides until golden brown.
- Saute onions and mushrooms in a little butter until soft but not mushy.
- Place in 'avodamia' nest and garnish with a swirl of sour cream and a sprinkling of paprika.
- Toss cheese, ham and celery together and pile into avodamia nest.
- Grill under moderate heat until cheese is bubbling and browning slightly.
- Mix all ingredients together and pile into avodamia nest.
- Bake in a very hot oven until filling is heated through.
- Note: If the last filling is used, don't brown the avodamia nest quite as much to allow for browning in the oven.
*Large avocados are recommended for this recipe. A large avocado averages about 8 ounces. If using smaller or larger size avocados adjust the quantity accordingly.
