Donuts are the ultimate guilty pleasure and grilled cheeses are more comforting than the arms of your mother. So naturally, putting the two together seemed like a no-brainer to me.
As I was scrolling through Instagram on National Donut Day, I came across the restaurant chain Tom + Chee, home of the donut grilled cheese. Unfortunately for me, the closest Tom + Chee was halfway across the country. Inspired by their brilliant combination of donut and cheese, I decided to recreate the donut grilled cheese three different ways.
These donut grilled cheeses are quick, easy, and unique. Satisfy your sweet and savory cravings in one bite with a donut grilled cheese.
