Ingredients

Sandwich Filling:

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

Bread:

  • Plain donuts (unsweetened or lightly sweetened, preferably without glaze): 4

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.
  • Heat the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture, stirring gently to create soft, scrambled eggs.
  • When the eggs are nearly set, sprinkle the shredded cheese on top. Continue cooking until the cheese melts, then remove from heat.

2. Prepare the Donut Bread:

  • Slice each donut horizontally to create a “bun.”
  • In a dry skillet over medium heat, lightly toast the cut sides of the donuts for about 1 minute or until they’re slightly crispy.

3. Assemble the Sandwiches:

  • Place a portion of the scrambled egg and cheese mixture on the bottom half of each donut.
  • Add toppings like avocado slices, bacon, or hot sauce if desired. Place the top half of the donut on top.

4. Serve:

  • Garnish with fresh chives or parsley. Serve the sandwiches warm and enjoy!

Tips for Success

  • Balance the Flavors: Choose unsweetened or lightly sweetened donuts to balance the savory filling.
  • Cook Eggs Gently: For a soft and creamy texture, don’t overcook the eggs.
  • Toast the Donuts: Light toasting adds crunch and stability to the sandwich.

Recommendations

  • Serve with a side of fresh fruit or a small green salad for a complete brunch.
  • Try experimenting with flavored donuts like an herb-infused variety for a gourmet touch.
