Step 3 — Toast the Donuts
Add butter to a hot skillet over medium heat.
Place donut halves cut-side down into the melted butter.
Toast until they crisp and the glaze caramelizes into a golden surface.
This step transforms sweetness into balance and prevents sogginess.
Step 4 — Assemble and Melt
Reduce heat to low.
Layer cheese on one toasted donut half, add crispy bacon, then top with the second slice of cheese.
Place the other donut half on top.
Cover the pan with a lid for 1–2 minutes to melt the cheese fully.
Low heat is important here — caramelization should continue but without burning.
Step 5 — Maple Finish
In a small saucepan, warm butter with maple syrup and a pinch of salt.
Spoon lightly over the sandwich or serve on the side for dipping.
A touch of salt keeps the maple from overwhelming the other flavors.
Step 6 — Serve Hot
Let the sandwich rest for 1 minute before slicing to avoid cheese leakage.
Helpful Techniques for Success
-
Do not toast donuts at high heat — glaze can burn quickly.
-
Select thick-cut bacon; thin strips become too brittle.
-
Press lightly while melting cheese — avoid flattening.
-
Serve immediately; donuts harden as they cool.
-
Add maple sparingly — sweetness should enhance flavor, not dominate.
