Ingredients
1 cup Crushed Doritos (choose your favorite flavor)
8 sticks Mozzarella cheese
2 Eggs, beaten
1 cup All-purpose flour
1 cup Breadcrumbs
Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
Prepare the Coating: Place the crushed Doritos, flour, and breadcrumbs in separate shallow dishes. Beat the eggs in another dish.
Coat the Cheese: First, 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. This helps the coating to set and prevents the cheese from melting too quickly when fried.
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, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook until they are golden brown and crispy, about 1-2 minutes per side.
Drain: Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried cheese sticks to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve: Enjoy your Fried Cheese Stuffed Doritos hot, with your favorite dipping sauce on the side.
