Guacamole Puffs

Guacamole is one of the well know dips of mexican food. I sharing one of the recipes I tried recently and it was a instant best bite for us. 



Ingredients

2 Hass avocados
1 Large garlic minced 
1 JalapeƱo seeded & minced
1 Tomato thinly chopped
1 Tbs. lemon juice ( Adjust acc.)
Salt for taste
For puff 
6 Puff pastry sheets
½ Cup mozzarella cheese
1 Egg
2 Tbs. water


For Guacamole 
Cut avocado around the seed  vertically. Twist rotate the avocado & you get 2 halves. Remove the seed & scoop the flesh in to a bowl. Mash it well without leaving any lumps. Mix the other ingredients with avocado & mix them well. Taste it & adjust if needed.


For egg wash
Break egg in to a bowl & mix it with water. Whisk it & keep aside.
Mean while preheat oven @ 350degrees.


Take a puff pastry sheet and place a scoop of guacamole as shown in the picture. To that sprinkle cheese & egg wash the edges before closing them. Now close it as shown above & repeat the same with rest of the puffs. Egg wash all the puffs before baking them for beautiful color.


Bake them @350degrees for around 20 to 25mins till they are nicely puffed up & brown as shown above. Remove them from oven & allow them to cool a little before serving.
