Ingredients:
- 2 glazed donuts (baked or fried)
- 2 slices cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
- 2 slices cooked bacon, chopped
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: Additional bacon for garnish
Directions:
- Prepare the Bacon Maple Glaze: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine maple syrup, balsamic vinegar, and black pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer and let it cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and stir in chopped bacon. Set aside.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Spread butter on the outside of each donut. Place one donut in the skillet, cut side up. Layer with cheese slices and bacon pieces, then top with the second donut, cut side down.
- Grill the Sandwich: Cook for 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt. Carefully flip the sandwich and grill the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes.
- Serve: Once the cheese is melty and the donuts are golden brown, remove from heat. Drizzle generously with the bacon maple glaze and, if desired, garnish with extra bacon. Serve immediately for a sweet and savory treat!
