1 pound fresh mozzarella that can be sliced into shapes
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/2 avocado, mashed
1 teaspoon fresh ground cumin
1 tablespoon chopped green chiles (mild)
salt and pepper to taste
1 rind grated of lime
2 cups panko bread crumbs

1 1/2 mashed avocado
1 cup chopped English cucumber
1 tablespoon mild green chiles
1 tablespoon ground cumin

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