Ingredients:
- 1 cup crushed Doritos (choose your favorite flavor)
- 8 sticks of mozzarella cheese
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- Vegetable oil for frying
Directions:
- Prepare the Coating: Set up a coating station with crushed Doritos, flour, and breadcrumbs in separate shallow dishes. Place beaten eggs in another dish.
- Coat the Cheese: Roll each mozzarella stick in flour, shake off excess, then dip it in the beaten eggs, and coat with crushed Doritos. For extra crunch, repeat the egg and Doritos steps.
- Chill: Arrange the coated mozzarella sticks on a plate and freeze for at least 30 minutes to set the coating and prevent melting when frying.
- Heat the Oil: In a deep fryer or large pan, heat vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C).
- Fry the Cheese Sticks: Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding, cooking each for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
- Drain: Transfer fried sticks to a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
- Serve: Enjoy these cheesy Doritos-coated sticks hot, paired with your favorite dipping sauce.
