I've talked before about the fact that I do a Monthly Menu Plan for our family because we're so crazy busy.

{seriously, if you're a busy girl...it's a must. takes so much stress off}

Anyway, a few nights ago we got home late from soccer & jiu jitsu practices and what I had planned on us having...quite honestly didn't sound good to me a the time.

I had about a 5 minute window until the 6 of us lost it in hungry tantrums so I knew I needed to make something SUPER fast.

Well, what's better than breakfast for dinner??

The day before, I had purchased the most gorgeous avocados and had been wanting to try this recipe for awhile so while Ben made the scrambled eggs and browned the veggie sausage, I quickly got to work.

Ok, I know what you're thinking...that sounds weird. HOT avocado? No thanks.

But honestly, it was fantastic.

First, slice the avocado in half and remove the pit or stone. Prick all over with a fork, or cut criss-cross patterns with a knife.

This allows the sauce to penetrate the flesh.

Make sauce

Pour the sauce over each half, then top with lime juice and salt and pepper {I added in just a tiny bit of tapatio}.

On each avocado half, sprinkle 1/4 of the cheese into the cavity where the pit had been.

Place in your oven under broil for 2 minutes.

Top with remaining cheese and broil for another 2 minutes until completely melted and your avocado is warmed through.
