Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 fresh glazed donuts (soft, for sandwich bread)
  • 2–3 slices of cheese (cheddar, American, or Monterey Jack)
  • 3–4 strips of bacon (cooked crispy)
  • 1 tablespoon butter (for grilling)

Optional Add-Ins

  • Jalapeños (sliced, for heat)
  • Honey (a drizzle for added sweetness)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Fry bacon strips until crispy, then drain on paper towels. Slice each glazed donut in half horizontally and have your cheese slices ready.
  2. Assemble the Sandwich: Place a slice of cheese on the bottom half of each donut, layer the crispy bacon strips, add another cheese slice, then close the sandwich with the donut’s top half.
  3. Butter the Donut Exteriors: Spread a thin layer of butter on the outside faces of each donut sandwich to help achieve a golden, crispy crust when grilled.
  4. Grill Your Donut Sandwich: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place sandwiches in the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until cheese melts and donuts turn golden brown.
  5. Serve Warm and Enjoy: Slice the grilled sandwiches in half, serve immediately, and enjoy the gooey, sweet-savory flavor explosion.

Notes

  • Use fresh glazed donuts for best texture and flavor.
  • Cook bacon thoroughly to achieve crispiness and a great contrast.
  • Grill on medium heat to melt the cheese without burning the donuts.
  • Press gently when grilling to meld ingredients without crushing the donuts.
  • Serve sandwiches immediately to enjoy the cheese gooeyness and donut crispness.
