  • 1 tablespoon mild green chiles
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin

Directions

  1. 1
    Slice the mozzarella into bit size pieces. An inch square is a good size, or a bit larger.
  2. 2
    Mix the beaten egg with 1/2 c. yogurt, half an avocado, half the rind of a lime, green chiles, cumin, salt, and pepper in one bowl.
  3. 3
    In another bowl mix the panko crumbs with other half of the lime rind, the chopped fresh herbs, salt and pepper.
  4. 4
    Dip and coat the mozzarella morsels with the egg, yogurt, and avocado mixture.
  5. 5
    Next roll the coated morsels into the panko mixture, trying to retain a generous coat.
  6. 6
    Heat a good vegetable oil (grapeseed oil works well here) coating the entire bottom of a skillet.
  7. 7
    Add the coated morsels into the skillet, making sure you hear a definite sizzle upon contact. Quickly brown and serve.
  8. 8
    Serve with chopped cucumbers, mixed together with yogurt, mashed avocado, chopped fresh herbs, cumin, green chiles, salt, pepper, and fresh herb garnish.
