# Guide to Cooking:
01 -
Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot to 175°C. Line a plate with paper towels to drain fried items.
02 -
Place flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in a second bowl, and combine panko breadcrumbs with optional seasonings (garlic powder, paprika, chili flakes) in a third bowl.
03 -
Halve the mozzarella sticks and sandwich one piece of cheese between two Doritos, pressing gently to adhere.
04 -
Dredge each stuffed chip in flour, dip into beaten eggs, then coat thoroughly with panko mixture. Repeat egg and panko dip for an extra thick crust.
05 -
Arrange coated pieces on a tray and chill in the freezer for 10 minutes to prevent cheese leakage during frying.
06 -
Fry in small batches for 1 to 2 minutes per side, until golden and crisp. Avoid overcrowding the pot. Drain briefly on paper towels.
07 -
Optionally sprinkle with crushed Doritos and serve hot alongside marinara or ranch dipping sauce.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Freezing the coated pieces before frying helps maintain their shape and prevents cheese from leaking.
