- 1 large egg
- 1/2 ripe, fresh avocado, halved, pitted and peeled
- 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
- 2 Tbsp. parsley, finely chopped (optional)
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1/4 cup shredded Mozzarella or Cheddar cheese
Instructions:

Nuggets can be stored in an airtight container for up to four days in the refrigerator. They also reheat and crisp up well from frozen either in a skillet or on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet in a 400°F oven.
