Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 2 glazed yeast donuts sliced in half horizontally
  • 4 bacon slices regular cut
  • 4 cheddar cheese slices about 1 ounce each
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup for drizzling

Instructions
 

Cooking

  • Crisp the bacon. Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes until crisp, then drain on paper towels.
  • Fill the donuts. Layer cheddar and bacon between the donut halves with the glaze facing out.
  • Toast. Cook over medium low heat for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden and the cheese is melted.
  • Finish. Drizzle with maple syrup and serve warm.

Notes

Substitutions: Use Colby, Gouda, or white cheddar for the cheddar and thin ham for the bacon.
Tips: Use soft same day donuts and keep the heat low so the glaze does not burn.
Storage: Refrigerate leftovers for up to 2 days and reheat in a skillet until steaming hot, at least 165 degrees F.
