Directions
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.
