Ingredients List
For the Donut Grilled Cheese with Bacon Maple:
- 1 glazed donut, sliced in half horizontally
- 2 slices of cheddar or American cheese
- 2 slices of bacon, cooked until crispy
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
Instructions
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Cook the Bacon:
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until they are crispy and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and place them on a paper towel to drain excess grease.
- Slice the Donut:
- Carefully slice the glazed donut in half horizontally using a serrated knife. This will create two donut halves that will serve as the “bread” for your grilled cheese.
- Assemble the Sandwich:
- Place one slice of cheese on the bottom half of the donut. Add the crispy bacon slices on top of the cheese, then place the second slice of cheese over the bacon. Top with the other half of the donut.
- Grill the Sandwich:
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwich in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the donut is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
- Drizzle with Maple Syrup:
- Once the sandwich is grilled to perfection, remove it from the skillet and drizzle with maple syrup. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
Additional Tips and Notes
- Serving Ideas: Garnish your Donut Grilled Cheese with Bacon Maple with a light dusting of powdered sugar for a touch of sweetness, or sprinkle with flaky sea salt to enhance the savory elements. You can also drizzle extra maple syrup on top if you prefer a sweeter experience.
- Making It Ahead: This sandwich is best enjoyed fresh, but you can cook the bacon and slice the donuts in advance to save time. When ready to serve, simply assemble and grill the sandwich.
- Customizing the Flavors: Don’t be afraid to experiment with different flavor combinations. Consider adding a layer of fruit preserves, such as raspberry or strawberry, for a fruity twist, or try using flavored bacon like applewood-smoked or peppered for added depth.
