Ingredients
-
1 bag Nacho Cheese Doritos (crushed)
-
8 oz block of cheddar cheese, cut into bite-sized cubes
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
-
2 large eggs, beaten
-
1/2 cup milk
-
1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs

Oil for frying
Instructions
-
Crush the Doritos
In a food processor, pulse the Doritos until finely crushed. Pour into a shallow dish and mix with panko breadcrumbs. -
Cut the Cheese
Slice the cheddar cheese block into small, bite-sized cubes. -
Set Up a Dredging Station
Prepare three shallow bowls:-
Bowl 1: Flour
-
Bowl 2: Beaten eggs + milk
-
Bowl 3: Crushed Doritos + panko mixture
-
-
Coat the Cheese Cubes
Working one at a time:-
Dredge each cube in flour
-
Dip into the egg mixture
-
Press into the Doritos-panko mix until fully coated
-
-
Fry the Cheese
Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, fry the cheese cubes in batches for 1–2 minutes per side, or until golden and crispy. -
Drain and Serve
Remove from oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Serve immediately while hot and gooey.
Notes
-
Cheese Options: Try mozzarella, pepper jack, or Monterey Jack for different flavor twists.
-
Oil Temperature: The oil should be hot enough (around 350°F / 175°C) to crisp the coating quickly—test with a small breadcrumb first.
-
Freeze First (Optional): For neater frying, freeze coated cheese cubes for 10–15 minutes before frying to help prevent oozing.
