Hot Cheeto Mozzarella Sticks Recipe
Hot Cheeto Mozzarella Sticks Recipe is a simple, easy, and fast recipe for mozzarella sticks. The cheese sauce and breadcrumbs go together very well and the breadcrumbs give a nice crunch to the dry mozzarella sticks.
Ingredients
- 6 Mozzarella string cheese sticks
- 1 Egg
- 1 1/2 cups Flaming Hot Cheetos
- Olive oil spray (I used Pam)
- Optional: Ranch dressing for dipping
Instructions
- Take the string cheese out of the package and cut it in half. Lay them out on a plate or tray and place them in the freezer for an hour.
- In a bowl, crack the egg and beat it with a fork. Put the crushed Cheetos in a separate bowl.
- You can crush the Cheetos using a food processor, or blender, or by putting them in a plastic bag and rolling them with a rolling pin.
- After dipping the cheese sticks into the egg, press the crumbs slightly to ensure they stick. Place them in the air fryer basket.
- Spray the air fryer with olive oil spray and set it to 400 degrees for six minutes. Serve immediately with ranch dressing for dipping, if desired.
