Ingredients
- 6 mozzarella string cheese sticks
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups crushed Nacho Cheese Doritos
- Oil spray or 2 tablespoons oil
- Marinara sauce or nacho cheese sauce (for dipping)
Instructions
- Freeze mozzarella sticks for 30–60 minutes to firm them.
- Crush Doritos into fine crumbs using a rolling pin or food processor.
- Set up three bowls for flour, beaten egg, and crushed Doritos.
- Coat each cheese stick in flour, dip in egg, then roll in Doritos crumbs.
- Double coat for extra crunch (egg, then Doritos again).
- Freeze coated sticks for 20–30 minutes to set the crust.
- Air fry at 390°F (200°C) for 5–7 minutes, or until golden and melty. Flip halfway through.
Notes
Freezing prevents the cheese from melting during cooking.
Double coating ensures a thicker, crunchier exterior.
Serve with marinara, nacho cheese, or your favorite dip.
For oven-baked version: Preheat to 400°F (200°C), arrange on a parchment-lined tray, and bake for 10–12 minutes.
