Are you craving something crispy and cheesy? This Fried Cheese Stuffed Doritos Recipe is perfect! It's super easy to make at home.
Equipment
- Large mixing bowls
- Deep frying pan or fryer
- Tongs for flipping
- Paper towels for draining
- Plate for serving
Ingredients
- 2 cups crushed Doritos any flavor
- 8 mozzarella cheese sticks
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs beaten
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- Oil for deep frying
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Cut each mozzarella stick in half.
- This makes them easier to coat and fry.
- Keep them in the freezer for 10 minutes.
- Cold cheese won't melt too quickly while frying.
- Place flour in the first bowl.
- Beat eggs in the second bowl.
- Mix crushed Doritos with breadcrumbs in the third.
- Add a pinch of salt to the mixture.
- This creates a perfect three-step coating system.
- Roll each cheese stick in flour first.
- Dip it into the beaten eggs next.
- Finally, coat it with the Doritos mixture.
- Press the coating firmly onto the cheese.
- Repeat this process for all pieces.
- Heat oil to 350°F in your pan.
- Carefully place coated cheese sticks in hot oil.
- Fry for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
- Don't overcrowd the pan while frying.
- Remove and drain on paper towels immediately.
Notes
- Keep your cheese sticks very cold before frying.
- This prevents the cheese from leaking out completely.
- Use fresh oil for the best taste.
- Don't skip the freezing step before coating.
- Double coat for extra crunchiness if you want.
- Serve immediately while they're hot and crispy.
- Try different Doritos flavors for variety.
- Nacho cheese and cool ranch work great.
- Don't fry at too high temperature.
- The coating will burn before cheese melts properly.
