Directions

1. Peel and pit avocados. In a bowl, coarsely mash avocados; fold in onion, jalapenos, cilantro, lime zest and juice, salt, pepper, and garlic.

2. 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.

3. At least an hour before serving, in a small shallow bowl, beat eggs with 3 tablespoons water.

4. 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.

5. 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. :-)
