Fried Cheese Stuffed Doritos

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Coating

  • Crush the Doritos into fine crumbs and mix with breadcrumbs in a shallow bowl.
  • Place flour in a separate shallow bowl.
  • Beat the eggs in another shallow bowl.

Step 2: Coat the Mozzarella Sticks

  • Roll each mozzarella stick in flour to coat completely.
  • Dip it into the beaten eggs.
  • Roll it in the Doritos-breadcrumb mixture.
  • For extra crunch, repeat the egg and Doritos-breadcrumb coating once more.

Step 3: Fry the Sticks

  • Heat oil in a pan to 350°F (175°C).
  • Fry the coated sticks for 2–3 minutes until golden brown.
  • Remove and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Step 4: Serve

  • Serve hot with marinara sauce, ranch, or your favorite dipping sauce.

Tips & Tricks (Nsa2i7):

  • Prevent cheese leakage: Freeze the mozzarella sticks for 15–20 minutes before coating.
  • Even coating: Press the Doritos-breadcrumb mixture firmly onto the sticks to ensure it sticks.
  • Crispier result: Double coating (egg + Doritos mixture) gives extra crunch.
  • Oil temperature: Keep the oil around 350°F to prevent burning or undercooking.

Serving suggestion: Serve immediately for maximum gooeyness; leftover sticks can be reheated in the oven at 375°F for 5–7 minutes.
