INGREDIENTS:
1 cup crushed Doritos (any flavor)
8 sticks of mozzarella cheese
2 eggs, whisked
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup breadcrumbs
Vegetable oil for frying
DIRECTIONS:
Place the crushed Doritos in one shallow dish. Place the flour in a second shallow dish. Place the breadcrumbs in a third shallow dish. Beat the eggs in a separate dish.
Roll each mozzarella stick in flour, shaking off excess. Dip in the whisked eggs, then roll in crushed Doritos.
For extra crunch, repeat the egg and Doritos coating.
Arrange coated mozzarella sticks on a plate and freeze for at least 30 minutes to set the coating.
Heat vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C) in a deep fryer or large pan.
Fry the mozzarella sticks in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook until golden brown and crispy, about 1-2 minutes per side.
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried cheese sticks to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve your Cheesy Doritos Encrusted Mozzarella Sticks hot, accompanied by your favorite dipping sauce.
