These little guacamole bites are over the top addictive! They are so unique as well. A great addition to any appetizer platter. Serve with a salsa based dip for a perfect balance of flavour. :-) well worth the effort for these treats. Read more ***note*** Prep time listed does NOT include the freezing time required.

How to make it
- Peel and pit avocados. In a bowl, coarsely mash avocados; fold in onion, jalapenos, cilantro, lime zest and juice, salt, pepper, and garlic.
- Line an 8-inch square baking pan with plastic wrap. Spoon avocado mixture into pan; spread into an even layer. Place a sheet of plastic wrap directly on the surface; freeze until solid, 6 to 8 hours.
- At least an hour before serving, in a small shallow bowl, beat eggs with 3 tablespoons water.
- Remove avocado mixture to a cutting board; cut into small cubes. Dip each cube in flour, then egg wash, breadcrumbs, and again in wash and breadcrumbs. Arrange in a large baking pan; cover and return to the freezer until firm, 20 to 30 minutes.
- In a deep skillet or pot, heat oil to 350 F. Fry frozen guacamole bites in batches until golden; drain on paper towels. Serve immediately sprinkled, if desired, with kosher salt. :-)
