Ingredients
Scale
- 4 glazed donuts, sliced in half horizontally
- 4 slices of cheddar cheese
- 8 slices of cooked turkey bacon
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
Instructions
- Prepare the Donuts: Slice the glazed donuts horizontally, creating a top and bottom half. Set aside.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Spread a thin layer of softened butter on the outer sides of each donut half. On the bottom half, place a slice of cheddar cheese, two slices of cooked turkey bacon, and drizzle a little maple syrup. Top with the other donut half to form the sandwich.
- Grill the Sandwich: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the sandwiches buttered-side down onto the skillet. Grill for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the cheese is melted and the donut is golden and caramelized.
- Serve: Remove from the skillet and let cool slightly. Serve warm for the perfect blend of sweet, salty, and cheesy flavors in every bite.
Notes
- If you prefer extra crispy bacon, broil it for a few minutes before assembling the sandwiches.
- You can substitute the turkey bacon with regular bacon for a richer taste.
- For an extra burst of flavor, add a dash of cinnamon to the maple syrup.
