Grilled cheese sandwiches are a staple comfort food in our house, and donuts are one of our favorite breakfast foods. We decided to combine the two and the result was absolutely delectable! You can whip up this fun grilled cheese donut in less than 10 minutes.

Here’s what you’ll need

Glazed donuts
Sliced cheese
Butter

Let’s make some grilled cheese donuts!

Slice and butter donuts
Use a bread knife or a knife with a serrated edge to slice your donuts. Generously butter the flat unglazed sides.
Top with cheese and cook
Heat a frying pan over low to medium heat. Sandwich 2 slices of cheese between the glazed sides of donut and cook each buttered side until golden brown, about 1 minute on each side.

Things I Learned

Can I grill the donuts with the glazed sides on the pan?

The sugar will melt and burn if you grill the glazed sides on the pan, so we recommend grilling the unglazed sides to retain the sugary goodness of the donut glaze!

What kind of cheese should I use?

We used Colby-Jack cheese slices for our grilled cheese donuts, but feel free to use any kind of cheese you like! A mild cheese would probably go best with a sweet donut.

We hope you enjoyed this grilled cheese recipe! It can be enjoyed for breakfast, brunch, lunch or even as a quick snack.
