Crispy Doritos-Crusted Cheese Sticks Recipe
Ingredients:
– 1 cup Doritos, crushed (choose your favorite flavor)
– 8 mozzarella cheese sticks
– 2 eggs, beaten
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 cup breadcrumbs
– Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions:
1. Prepare the coating: Set up three shallow dishes with crushed Doritos, flour, and breadcrumbs separately. Beat the eggs in another dish.
2. Coat the cheese sticks: Begin by rolling a mozzarella stick in flour, then dip it in the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with crushed Doritos. For an extra crispy texture, you can double dip by repeating the egg and Doritos coating step.
3. 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 during frying.
4. Heat the oil: In a deep fryer or large pan, heat the vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C).
5. Fry the cheese sticks: Fry the mozzarella sticks in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook until they turn golden brown and crispy, approximately 1-2 minutes per side.
6. Drain: Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried cheese sticks to a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.
7. Serve: Serve your Crispy Doritos-Crusted Cheese Sticks while hot, with your preferred dipping sauce on the side.
