Donut Grilled Cheese Bacon Maple (Print-Friendly Version)

Sweet glazed donuts meet melty cheddar, crisp turkey bacon, and maple for the ultimate flavor fusion.

# What You’ll Need to Make This:

→ Sandwich Components

01 - 4 glazed donuts, sliced horizontally
02 - 4 slices cheddar cheese
03 - 8 slices cooked turkey bacon

→ Finishing Touches

04 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
05 - 2 tablespoons maple syrup

# How to Prepare:

01 - Using a serrated knife, cut each glazed donut in half horizontally to create a top and bottom portion.
02 - Spread a thin layer of softened butter on the cut sides of each donut half. Arrange one slice of cheddar cheese and two slices of cooked turkey bacon onto each bottom half. Drizzle with a small amount of maple syrup. Cover with the remaining donut halves, butter side facing outward.
03 - Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwiches buttered-side down on the skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until the cheese has melted and the donuts are golden brown with a caramelized exterior.
04 - Transfer grilled sandwiches to a plate and let cool briefly. Serve warm to enjoy the harmonious blend of sweet, smoky, and creamy flavors.

# Extra Tips:

01 - For crispier bacon, briefly broil the slices before assembling the sandwiches.
02 - To intensify the flavor, substitute turkey bacon with pork bacon.
03 - A sprinkle of cinnamon stirred into the maple syrup adds an aromatic accent.
