Ingredients

1 cup crushed Doritos (your favorite flavor).

8 sticks of mozzarella cheese.

2 eggs, beaten.

1 cup all-purpose flour.

1 cup breadcrumbs.

Vegetable oil for frying.


Instructions

  1. Prepare Coating Station: Set up four shallow dishes. Fill one with crushed Doritos, another with all-purpose flour, a third with beaten eggs, and the last one with breadcrumbs.
  2. Coat Cheese Sticks: Roll each mozzarella stick in flour, dip in beaten eggs, then coat with crushed Doritos. Repeat for an extra crispy coating.
  3. Chill Coated Sticks: Arrange coated mozzarella sticks on a parchment-lined plate and freeze for 30 minutes to set the coating.
  4. Heat Oil: In a deep fryer or large pan, heat vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C).
  5. Fry Cheese Sticks: Carefully fry chilled cheese sticks in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 1-2 minutes per side.
  6. Drain Excess Oil: Transfer fried cheese sticks to a paper towel-lined plate to drain briefly.
  7. Serve Hot: Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy the crunchy exterior and gooey cheese center!

Notes

Cheese Options: Try different cheeses like cheddar or pepper jack for variety.

Coating Consistency: Press Doritos crumbs firmly for a crunchy exterior.

Freezing Time: Longer freezing solidifies coating, aiding handling.

Oil Temperature: Maintain 375°F (190°C) for optimal frying.

Batch Frying: Avoid overcrowding for even cooking; fry in batches.

Serve Fresh: Enjoy hot for best texture and flavor.

Storage: Refrigerate leftovers; reheat before consumption.
