Baked Stuffed Avocado

1 onion
1/2 oz. butter
2 large ripe avocado pears, halved and stones removed
4 oz. chopped Brazil nuts (or almonds)
4 oz. Gruyere cheese, diced
4 Tbsp grated Parmesan
2 Tbsp chopped parsley
2 Tbsp sherry
salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 400F. Fry the onion in the butter for 10 min.
Meanwhile, scoop the fresh out of the avocado skins with a tsp,
taking care not to damage the skins.  Dice the avocado flesh.  Add
the fried onion to the avocado, together with the Brazil nuts,
cheeses, parsley and sherry.  Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Pile the mixture back into the avocado shells, place them in a
shallow ovenproof dish and bake for 10-15 minutes (keep an eye on
them).  Serve immediately.
