Ingredients

2 glazed donuts, sliced in half horizontally

4 slices cheddar cheese (or American cheese for extra melt)

4 slices cooked bacon

1–2 tbsp butter (for grilling)

Instructions

1. Cook the bacon

Fry bacon in a pan until crispy.

Remove and place on paper towels to drain.

2. Prepare the donuts

Slice each glazed donut in half like a bagel.

Lightly butter the cut sides.

3. Build your sandwiches

For each sandwich:

Place donut half (cut side down) on the pan.

Add 2 slices of cheddar.

Add 2 slices of crispy bacon.

Top with the other half of the donut.

4. Grill

Heat a skillet over medium-low.

Grill each sandwich 2–3 minutes per side until:

The donut is caramelized and golden

The cheese is fully melted

The bacon warms through

 

Tip: Press gently with a spatula for better melt.

5. Serve

Let sit 1 minute so the cheese settles.

Slice in half or eat whole.

Enjoy the sweet–savory goodness!
