Instructions
Preparation
- Set up three shallow dishes: one with all-purpose flour, one with crushed Doritos, and the last with breadcrumbs. Beat the eggs in a fourth bowl.
- Roll each mozzarella stick in the flour, dip in the eggs to coat, and roll in the crushed Doritos. Repeat for extra crispiness.
- Arrange the coated mozzarella sticks on a plate and freeze for at least 30 minutes.
Frying

- Carefully fry each mozzarella stick for 1-2 minutes on each side until they are golden brown.
- Transfer finished sticks to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve immediately.
Notes
For healthier alternatives, use almond flour and dairy-free mozzarella, or try air frying instead of deep frying. Common mistakes include overbaking and ensuring the oil is hot enough before frying.
