Description
These Fried Cheese Stuffed Doritos are an indulgent snack made with layers of cheddar and mozzarella cheese coated in bold, crunchy Dorito crumbs and fried to golden perfection. Crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside, they’re ideal for parties, game nights, or any moment you crave melty cheesy comfort.
Ingredients
8 slices cheddar cheese
8 slices mozzarella cheese
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 large eggs, beaten
3 cups crushed Doritos (Nacho Cheese flavor)
Oil for frying (vegetable or canola), enough for deep frying
Instructions
1. Cut cheddar and mozzarella slices into uniform squares and stack one of each together.
2. Place stacked cheese slices on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for 30 minutes.
3. Set up three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with crushed Doritos.
4. Dredge frozen cheese stacks in flour, then dip in egg, and coat in crushed Doritos.
5. For extra crunch, repeat the egg and Doritos coating once more.
6. Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy skillet to 350°F (175°C).
7. Fry cheese stacks for about 2 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
8. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and serve hot with your favorite dips.
Notes
Freezing the cheese stacks is essential to avoid them melting apart during frying.
Crushing Doritos in a food processor gives a finer texture that sticks better to the cheese.
Double coating with egg and Doritos gives an extra crispy crust that’s worth the extra step.
