Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, cut into small cubes
- 2 cups crushed Doritos, any flavor
Coating Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
Cooking Ingredient:
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare a systematic coating station with three shallow dishes: one for flour, another for beaten eggs, and the third for crushed Doritos, ensuring smooth and efficient preparation.
- Carefully roll each cheese cube in flour, creating a light adhesive layer for subsequent coatings, then thoroughly dip into beaten eggs, ensuring complete coverage.
- Generously coat the egg-drenched cheese cube with crushed Doritos, pressing gently to help crumbs adhere. For enhanced crunchiness, repeat the egg and Dorito coating process.
- Heat oil in a skillet to 350°F, checking temperature by dropping a small crumb that should immediately sizzle upon contact.
- Gently place coated cheese cubes into the hot oil, maintaining sufficient space between pieces to prevent overcrowding and ensure even frying.
- Fry cheese bites for 2-3 minutes, carefully turning them to achieve a uniform golden-brown exterior while maintaining a molten cheese interior.
- Remove fried cheese bites using a slotted spoon and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil, allowing brief drainage.
- Serve immediately while cheese remains deliciously melted and exterior stays crisp, providing optimal taste and texture experience.
Notes
- Double-coat for ultimate crunch by repeating the egg and Doritos dredging process, ensuring a thicker, crispier exterior that locks in melty cheese.
- Control oil temperature carefully to prevent burning while achieving golden-brown perfection, using a thermometer or testing with a small crumb.
- Choose hard cheese varieties like cheddar or pepper jack that melt beautifully and maintain structure during frying, avoiding softer cheeses that might leak.
