Donut Grilled Cheese Bacon Maple (Print-Friendly Version)

Glazed donuts, cheddar, turkey bacon, and maple create a mouthwatering sweet and savory grilled sandwich.

# What You’ll Need to Make This:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 4 glazed donuts, sliced horizontally

02 - 4 slices cheddar cheese

03 - 8 slices cooked turkey bacon

04 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

05 - 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup

# How to Prepare:

01 - Slice each glazed donut in half horizontally to form a top and bottom piece. Set aside.

02 - Spread softened butter on the outer cut sides of each donut half. Place one slice of cheddar cheese and two slices of cooked turkey bacon on the bottom side of each donut. Drizzle maple syrup over the bacon, then cap with the remaining donut half to form a sandwich.

03 - Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwiches, buttered side facing out, onto the skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until the cheese has melted and the donut exterior is golden and caramelized.

04 - Transfer grilled sandwiches to a plate and let them cool slightly. Serve warm for optimal sweet and savory flavor balance.

# Extra Tips:

01 - Broil the bacon briefly before assembling if a crispier texture is desired.

02 - Regular bacon may be used instead of turkey bacon for a deeper, smokier flavor.

03 - Stir a dash of cinnamon into the maple syrup for added warmth and complexity.
