The grilled cheese doughnut is a thing (and we’d give our right arm for one)

Katie Mythen-Lynch

It looks like something we could have invented ourselves in the throes of an epic hangover, but the latest food trend comes straight out of the Big Apple (home of everything over sized and outrageous).

Sweet and salty, crunchy and soft, cheesy and melty: behold: the doughnut grilled cheese.

The brainchild of the evil geniuses behind The Doughnut Project, an artisan doughnut store on Morton Street, NY, the doughnut grilled cheese does exactly what it says on the tin.

A limited edition treat currently being served in small quantities at Clinton Hall, “The Flamin’ Hot Doughnut Grilled Cheese” consists of the following: a habanero glazed bacon doughnut, halved and stuffed with mozzarella.

The entire work of art is hung over a bowl of delicious tomato soup.

Make no mistake: this is the stuff that dreams are made of. We’ll be building one of our very own this Friday night.
