Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- Vegetable oil for frying
- 8 sticks of mozzarella cheese
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup crushed Doritos
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
Instructions
- Prepare the coating: Place the crushed Doritos, flour, and breadcrumbs in separate shallow dishes. Beat the eggs in another dish.
- Coat the cheese: Roll a mozzarella stick in the flour, shaking off the excess. Dip it in the beaten eggs, then roll it in the crushed Doritos. For extra crunch, you can double dip by repeating the egg and Doritos coating step.
- Chill: Place the coated mozzarella sticks on a plate and freeze for at least 30 minutes to set the coating.
- Heat the oil: In a deep fryer or large pan, heat the vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C).
- Fry the cheese sticks: Fry the mozzarella sticks in batches, avoiding overcrowding. Cook until golden brown and crispy, about 1-2 minutes per side.
- Drain: Transfer the fried cheese sticks to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Serve: Enjoy your Fried Cheese Stuffed Doritos hot, with your favorite dipping sauce on the side.
