Ingredients
Scale
- 12 cheese cubes (cheddar, mozzarella, or pepper jack)
- 2 cups Doritos, crushed into fine crumbs (any flavor!)
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 tbsp milk
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp paprika
- Oil for frying
Instructions
1️⃣ Prep the Coating
- Place crushed Doritos in a bowl.
- In a second bowl, mix flour, garlic powder, and paprika.
- In a third bowl, whisk eggs and milk together.
2️⃣ Coat the Cheese Cubes
- Roll each cheese cube in flour mixture.
- Dip into egg mixture, then coat generously with crushed Doritos.
- For extra crunch, repeat the egg + Doritos coating.
- Place on a tray and freeze for 20-30 minutes (prevents cheese from melting too fast).
3️⃣ Fry Until Golden
- Heat oil to 350°F (175°C) in a deep pan.
- Fry cheese bites for 30-45 seconds per side, or until crispy and golden.
- Remove and drain on paper towels.
4️⃣ Serve & Enjoy!
- Serve hot with ranch, marinara, or spicy mayo for dipping!
Notes
✔️ Try different Doritos flavors! Cool Ranch, Spicy Nacho, or Flamin’ Hot all work great!
✔️ Freezing is key! It keeps the cheese from oozing out too quickly when frying.
✔️ For a healthier version, bake at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes or air-fry at 375°F for 8 minutes.
