Baking Tips

Choose Doritos that are similar in size and shape for the best seal when sandwiching

Don't overfill with cheese - too much will cause leaking during frying

Chilling the assembled Doritos before breading helps prevent the cheese from oozing out

Maintain oil temperature at 350°F - too hot and the outside burns before cheese melts, too cool and they'll be greasy

Work in small batches to avoid overcrowding and temperature drops in the oil

Serve immediately for the best texture - the cheese will be perfectly melted and stretchy

If cheese leaks during frying, reduce the filling amount for the next batch

Use a candy thermometer to monitor oil temperature throughout frying

Double-breading (flour, egg, breadcrumbs, egg, breadcrumbs) creates an extra thick coating if desired

Instructions

Prepare the cheese filling: In a large bowl, mix softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, mozzarella, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne (if using). Season with salt and pepper. Mix until well combined and smooth.

Chill the cheese mixture in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to make it easier to handle.

Prepare Doritos: Carefully select pairs of similar-sized Doritos that can be sandwiched together. You'll need about 20-25 pairs.

Crush 2 cups of Doritos in a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and crushing with a rolling pin until you have fine crumbs. Mix with panko breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper.

Assemble the stuffed Doritos: Take about 1-2 teaspoons of the chilled cheese mixture and spread it on one Dorito chip, leaving a small border around the edges. Top with another Dorito chip and gently press the edges together to seal.

Set up breading station: Place flour in one shallow dish, beaten eggs in another, and the Dorito-panko mixture in a third dish.

Bread each stuffed Dorito: First dredge in flour, shaking off excess. Then dip in beaten eggs, coating completely. Finally, coat thoroughly in the Dorito-breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to help coating adhere.

Place breaded Doritos on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Chill in freezer for 15 minutes to help the coating set.

Heat oil: In a large, heavy pot or deep fryer, heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to maintain consistent temperature.

Fry in batches: Carefully lower 3-4 stuffed Doritos into the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy, turning once halfway through.

Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Season immediately with a pinch of salt while hot.

Serve immediately while the cheese is still melted and the coating is crispy, with your choice of dipping sauces.
