“By now, you know that we shouldn’t worry about the fats in avocados; they make us glow and they keep us feeling full,” says Freer. “Plus, they are so much more versatile than you might give them credit for.” They’re also truly tasty when combined with protein, like the egg whites in these soufflés.
Preheat the oven to 425º F.
Scoop out the flesh from each half of the avocado, keeping the shells intact. Blend the avocado flesh with the almond butter and basil. Spread a teaspoon of pesto in the base of each shell.
Whip the egg whites until they form soft peaks. Blend a third of this “egg white snow” with the avocado mixture and then slowly and gently fold in the rest without stirring.
Divide the mixture between the hollowed-out shells and cook on a baking sheet in the oven for 7 minutes.
