Prepare the coating: Set up a coating station with three shallow dishes. Place crushed Doritos in one dish, all-purpose flour in another, and breadcrumbs in the third. Beat the eggs in a separate dish.
Coat the cheese: Roll each mozzarella stick in flour, shaking off any excess. Dip it in the beaten eggs, ensuring it’s fully coated, then roll it in the crushed Doritos. For an extra crispy coating, repeat the egg and Doritos coating step.
Chill: Arrange the coated mozzarella sticks on a plate and freeze them for at least 30 minutes. This step helps the coating to set and prevents the cheese from melting too quickly during frying.
Heat the oil: In a deep fryer or large pan, heat vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C). Ensure the oil is hot enough to achieve a crispy exterior while quickly melting the cheese inside.
Fry the cheese sticks: Carefully place the mozzarella sticks in the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook until they turn golden brown and crispy, approximately 1-2 minutes per side.
Drain excess oil: Once fried, use a slotted spoon to transfer the cheese sticks to a plate lined with paper towels. This helps to absorb any excess oil, ensuring a lighter and less greasy snack.
Serve and enjoy: Serve your Fried Cheese Stuffed Doritos hot, accompanied by your favorite dipping sauce on the side. Whether it’s marinara, ranch, or salsa, the options are endless for enhancing the flavor of this delicious snack.
