Description
A fun and tasty snack featuring gooey mozzarella cheese and crunchy Doritos, perfect for parties or movie nights.
Ingredients
- 8 mozzarella sticks
- 1 cup crushed Doritos (choose preferred flavor)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup fine breadcrumbs
- Vegetable oil, for deep frying
Instructions
- Arrange crushed Doritos, all-purpose flour, and breadcrumbs in separate shallow dishes. Beat the eggs in a separate bowl until smooth.
- Coat each mozzarella stick first in flour, shaking off excess. Dip into the beaten eggs, then cover thoroughly with crushed Doritos. For an extra crunchy crust, repeat dipping in egg followed by Doritos.
- Transfer breaded mozzarella sticks to a plate and freeze for a minimum of 30 minutes to firm up the coating and prevent cheese from leaking during frying.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 190°C (375°F). Monitor with a thermometer for a consistent frying temperature.
- Fry mozzarella sticks in small batches, avoiding overcrowding. Cook each batch for 1–2 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove fried mozzarella sticks using a slotted spoon and place on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
- Serve immediately while hot with preferred dipping sauces.
Notes
Make sure to freeze the breaded mozzarella sticks thoroughly before frying. Experiment with different flavors of Doritos for a unique taste. Don’t overcrowd the frying pot for even cooking.
