Ingredients

  • 1 cup Hot Cheetos, crushed
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour

Instructions

  • Freeze 8 mozzarella sticks for 30–60 minutes.

  • Set up dredging stations: ½ cup all-purpose flour in one bowl, beaten 1 large egg in another, and crushed Hot Cheetos in a third.
  • Coat each frozen mozzarella piece by rolling in flour, dipping in egg, then coating with Hot Cheetos crumbs. Repeat egg and crumb coating for extra crunch.
