Ingredients
- 12 Mozzarella String Cheese Sticks
- 3 Large Eggs
- 8.5 oz Flamin’ Hot Cheetos
- ½ cup All-purpose Flour
- ½ tsp Kosher Salt
- ½ tsp Garlic Powder
- Ranch for Dipping
Instructions
- Take the mozzarella sticks and cut them into halves. Now, freeze them in the freezer until you need them.
- Add your bag of Cheetos to the blender or food processor. Crush it down to fine crumbs for better adherence.
- In a bowl, mix the flour, garlic powder, and salt. This is your dry mixture.
- Whisk the eggs properly in a separate bowl. It is better if the dishes are a bit flat.
- Now, in another bowl, pour all the Cheetos crumbs. This is your crumb coating.
- We advise you to have a wet and dry hand for this step. Take your mozzarella sticks and coat them with the flour, then dip them in the egg mixture, and lastly, coat them with the Cheetos crumbs.
- Go back to dipping the sticks in the egg and then in the crumb coat. This will give you an even layer of crunchy deliciousness.
- Do steps 6 and 7 for all the mozzarella sticks and lay them on a baking sheet or parchment paper. Freeze them in the freezer for at least an hour before the next steps.
