Cutting a hole for the insert would be a bit difficult.

Find out who does engineered stone, such as SileStone, granite in your
area. Sink/cooktop cut-outs are often free... or cheap. Solid surface
makes for a nice flat surface. You'll need to do a little running around
for somebody to drill (core bore) a hole for you. Well worth the effort
and classy too.
