# Ingredients:
→ Main Components
01 -
2 cups (approximately 90 g) crushed Doritos, any flavor
02 -
1 cup (about 120 g) cheddar cheese, cut into small cubes
→ Coating & Batter
03 -
0.5 cup (60 g) plain flour
04 -
2 large eggs, beaten
→ For Frying
05 -
Vegetable oil, sufficient for shallow frying
# Instructions:
01 -
Arrange three shallow bowls: fill one with flour, the second with beaten eggs, and the third with finely crushed Doritos. Ensure the Doritos are crushed to an even, coarse crumb without turning them into a powder.
02 -
Individually coat each cheese cube in flour, ensuring a thorough dusting to promote adhesion of the egg wash.
03 -
Dip each floured cheese cube into the beaten egg, then roll in the crushed Doritos until evenly covered. For maximum crunch, repeat the egg wash and Dorito coating one additional time.
04 -
Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan to a depth of approximately 3 cm. Heat over medium heat until a small pinch of Dorito crumb sizzles immediately upon contact.
05 -
Gently place coated cheese cubes into the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes, turning as needed, until exterior is golden brown and crisp. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
06 -
Transfer fried bites with a slotted spoon onto a plate lined with paper towels. Let rest for 1 minute to drain before serving hot.
# Notes:
01 -
Freeze cheese cubes for 10 minutes prior to coating to minimize cheese leakage during frying.
