by

Introduction:
Egg Sandwiches in Donut Bread are a fun and delicious twist on the classic breakfast sandwich. Combining the sweet, fluffy texture of a donut with a savory egg filling, these sandwiches offer a unique flavor combination that’s perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even a light lunch. They’re simple to make and customizable, adding a touch of novelty to your meal.

Ingredients

Sandwich Filling:

  • Large eggs: 4
  • Salt: ¼ teaspoon
  • Black pepper: ¼ teaspoon
  • Butter: 1 tablespoon
  • Shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite): ½ cup (60g)
  • Fresh chives or parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish): 1 tablespoon

Bread:

  • Plain donuts (unsweetened or lightly sweetened): 4 (preferably with no glaze)

Optional Add-Ons:

  • Sliced avocado
  • Cooked bacon or ham slices
  • Hot sauce or ketchup for extra flavor

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Eggs:
  • In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  • Heat the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture, stirring gently as it cooks to make soft scrambled eggs.
  • Once the eggs are almost set, sprinkle shredded cheese on top and continue cooking until cheese is melted. Remove from heat and set aside.
  1. Prepare the Donut Bread:
  • Slice each donut in half horizontally to create a “bun” for each sandwich. Lightly toast the cut sides of the donuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 1 minute or until slightly crispy.
  1. Assemble the Sandwiches:
  • Place a portion of the scrambled egg and cheese mixture on the bottom half of each donut.
  • Add any additional toppings like avocado, bacon, or hot sauce if desired, then place the top half of the donut on top.
  1. Serve:
  • Garnish with fresh chives or parsley and serve warm.

Tips for Success

  • Use unsweetened or lightly sweetened donuts for a good balance of flavors.
  • Don’t overcook the eggs to keep them soft and creamy for the best sandwich texture.
  • Lightly toasting the donuts adds a nice crunch and helps the sandwich hold together.

Recommendations

  • Serve these sandwiches with a side of fruit or a small green salad for a complete breakfast or brunch.
  • Try experimenting with flavored donuts, like a savory herb donut, for a creative twist.
