Donut Grilled Cheese is a fun and indulgent twist on the classic sandwich, combining sweet glazed donuts, gooey cheddar cheese, and a drizzle of maple syrup for the ultimate sweet-and-savory experience.

  • Total Time: 12 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 glazed donuts, sliced in half horizontally
  • 4 slices cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Slice the glazed donuts in half horizontally.
  2. Place one slice of cheddar cheese on the bottom half of each donut, then top with another slice of cheese.
  3. Cover with the top half of the donut to form a sandwich.
  4. Heat a skillet over medium heat and place the sandwiches in the skillet.
  5. Grill each side for 2–3 minutes, until the cheese melts and the donuts are golden and caramelized.
  6. Drizzle with maple syrup and sprinkle with ground cinnamon before serving.

Notes

  • Best served fresh for optimal texture and flavor.
  • Try using pepper jack for a spicy kick or brie for a richer flavor.
  • Use plain donuts for a more savory version.
  • Reheat in a skillet to maintain crispiness; avoid microwaving.
  • Experiment with additional toppings like chocolate syrup or fresh fruit.
