Steps:
- Preheat gas grill on high heat.
- Using a sharp knife, slice the avocados in half by cutting in a straight line around the pit.
- Place the avocado half containing the pit in your hand and face it away from you. Gently stick the tip of the knife into the side of the pit and carefully pry it out of the avocado. For a ripe avocado, the pit will pop out with little effort. You can hold a kitchen towel in your hand and place the avocado in the towel for added protection from the edge of your knife.
- Place the avocado halves on a tray. Using a pastry brush, brush oil on each of the avocado halves.
- Place the avocados on the grill, flesh side down, and grill for 3-4 minutes, until grill marks appear.
- Remove the avocados and brush with honey.
- Stuff the avocados with peaches, feta, and mint leaves.

Tips for Making Feta-Stuffed Avocados:
- Use ripe avocados that are slightly firm to the touch. This will ensure that they are easy to stuff and will hold their shape. - Be careful not to overstuff the avocados, as this can make them difficult to eat. - If you are using a food processor to make the filling, be sure to pulse it only until the ingredients are combined. Over-processing will make the filling too smooth and runny. - If you are making the filling ahead of time, be sure to store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. - To prevent the avocados from browning, you can brush them with lemon juice or lime juice before stuffing them. - You can also garnish the stuffed avocados with chopped herbs, such as cilantro, parsley, or basil.Conclusion:
Feta-stuffed avocados are a delicious and healthy snack or appetizer that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. You can add other ingredients to the filling, such as chopped tomatoes, onions, or bell peppers. You can also use different types of cheese, such as mozzarella or cheddar. Experiment and find your favorite combination!
