What makes the Grilled Donut BLT with Jalapeño Mayo unique?

This sandwich is a mix of sweet glazed donut, savory bacon, crisp lettuce, and fresh tomatoes. It's topped with spicy jalapeño mayo. It's a creative twist on the classic BLT, blending breakfast and lunch with unique flavors.

Can I use any type of donut for this recipe?

Choose a sturdy glazed donut for grilling. Yeast-raised donuts are best because they're firmer. They hold up to heat and add a sweet contrast to the savory fillings.

How spicy is the jalapeño mayo?

You can adjust the spice level to your liking. By changing the jalapeño amount and removing seeds, you control the heat. I give a recipe to make the mayo as mild or spicy as you prefer.

Are there vegetarian alternatives for this sandwich?

Yes! You can swap bacon with plant-based bacon, tempeh, or grilled veggies. The sweet donut and spicy mayo work well with different proteins.

What's the best way to grill the donuts?

Grill on medium-low heat for 30-45 seconds on each side. Aim for a crispy outside and soft inside. A cast-iron skillet or griddle is best for the right texture.

Can I prepare the jalapeño mayo in advance?

Yes! Make the mayo ahead and store it in an airtight container in the fridge for 5-7 days. This lets the flavors blend and makes prep easier.

What side dishes pair well with the Grilled Donut BLT?

Choose light, fresh sides. A crisp mixed green salad, sweet potato fries, or a light fruit salad are great. They balance the rich and spicy sandwich flavors.

How do I prevent the donut from falling apart while grilling?

Pick fresh, slightly firm donuts and handle them gently. A light butter or oil brush helps protect the donut. Use a spatula to flip and transfer carefully to keep it intact.
