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.
