Description
A decadent sandwich that combines the sweetness of a glazed donut with the savory richness of bacon, melted cheese, and a hint of maple glaze. It’s a perfect blend of flavors that elevates the classic grilled cheese to an indulgent treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 glazed donuts, sliced in half horizontally
- 4 slices bacon
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by cooking the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until it’s nicely crispy. Then, set it aside on paper towels to drain any excess grease.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, ground cinnamon, and cayenne pepper (if you’re up for a bit of heat) to create a spicy-sweet glaze.
- Toast the sliced donuts in the same skillet, cut side down, until they turn golden brown. This not only warms them up but also adds a delightful crunch.
- Flip the donuts, and on each bottom half, lay out 2 slices of cheddar cheese, followed by the crispy bacon, crumbled for ease of eating and even distribution.
- Generously drizzle the prepared maple syrup mixture over the bacon, ensuring each bite will have a perfect balance of sweet, spicy, and savory.
- Cap it off with the top halves of the donuts, press gently to seal the deal, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes—just long enough for the cheese to melt and the flavors to meld.
Notes
- Experiment with different types of cheese for varying flavors.
- Ensure the bacon is cooked to your liking before assembling.
