My 3-year-old actually licked his bowl clean! I was hoping to have leftovers for lunches but they wiped it all out!
This recipe combines the sweet and savory flavors of glazed donuts, crispy bacon, melty cheddar cheese, and a touch of spicy-sweet maple glaze for a decadent and unexpected treat.

Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| For the Sandwich | |
| Glazed donuts | 2, sliced in half horizontally |
| Bacon | 8 slices |
| Cheddar cheese | 4 slices |
| For the Maple Glaze | |
| Maple syrup | 2 tablespoons |
| Ground cinnamon | 1/4 teaspoon |
| Cayenne pepper (optional) | 1/4 teaspoon |
Instructions:
- Cook the Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Drain excess grease on paper towels.
- Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper (if using) for a spicy-sweet glaze.
- Toast the Donuts: In the same skillet, toast the donut halves, cut-side down, until golden brown.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Flip the donuts and layer 2 slices of cheddar cheese on each bottom half. Top with crumbled bacon.
- Drizzle with Glaze: Generously drizzle the maple glaze over the bacon.
- Cook and Serve: Top with the remaining donut halves, pressing gently to seal. Cook for 1-2 minutes more, until cheese melts. Enjoy warm!
Tip: Feel free to add another donut half in the middle for a thicker, 3-tiered sandwich!
