Preparation Steps

  • Place crushed Hot Cheetos in a shallow dish. In another shallow dish, place the flour. In a third shallow dish, beat the eggs.
  • Coat each mozzarella stick first in flour, then dip in the beaten egg, and finally coat generously with the crushed Hot Cheetos and breadcrumbs mixture.
  • Place coated mozzarella sticks on a baking sheet and freeze for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  • In a deep skillet or pot, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
  • Carefully fry the mozzarella sticks in batches for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and melty.
  • Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

Adjust the amount of Hot Cheetos for your desired level of spice. Ensure the oil is hot enough for crispy results.
