- Gently fold in the diced avocado to retain the diced form. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
- Form into patties, about 6 oz. each. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 – 3 hours to allow the breadcrumbs to absorb the moisture.

- Serve 5 oz. per portion garnished with cocktail umbrella.
