If you are more of a savory person than someone with a sweet tooth, these deep fried donuts are the perfect way to still celebrate National Donut Day. From food blog My Name is Yeh, the recipe for cheddar donuts are made out of fried challah dough that is stuffed with cheddar cheese and then coated in cheddar powder. Only slightly sweet tasting, the bites are described as "fluffy fried grilled cheese balls that will take a couple of minutes off your life."
Hardly healthy, the deep fried donuts will require shredded sharp cheddar cheese, cheddar powder and a side of Sriracha hot sauce for serving. The homemade donut recipe is certainly worth trying if you have some time to bake today.
