# Cheesy Crescent Pastries This Grilled Cheese Donut From Oh Bite It Boasts Layers of Deliciousness By Alyson Wyers | Published 2014-11-19 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grilled-cheese-donut References: [thatsnerdalicious](http://www.thatsnerdalicious.com/recipes/these-grilled-cheese-doughnuts-need-to-be-in-my-mouth-immediately/) & [ohbiteit](http://www.ohbiteit.com/2014/11/grilled-cheese-crescent-doughnuts.html) In another epic culinary combination, Amy from Oh Bite It crafted this grilled cheese donut. The savory crescent pastry has layers of [melted cheese](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grilling-cheese-1) in between flaky and delicious dough that is 'O' shaped, like a donut. The simple recipe only requires a few ingredients and a little effort, resulting in something so mind-blowingly cheesy and delicious you wouldn't believe it. The grilled cheese donut recipe calls for cheese slices (Amy suggests Velveeta as she feels they melt the best), crescent dough from [Pillsbury](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pillsbury-mini-bagels), round cookie cutters and oil to fry it all in (such as canola oil). Dubbed the Grilled Cheese Crescent Doughnuts, this delightful snack is a cheesy overload in the best possible way. And we didn't even get into the donut holes. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 23% | Activity: 27% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Culinary Mashups:** Exploring and combining different foods to create unique and delicious flavor combinations. - **Simple Recipes:** Creating easy-to-make dishes with minimal ingredients and effort. - **Indulgent Comfort Food:** Crafting dishes that provide a sense of nostalgia and satisfaction. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Food and Beverage:** Opportunity to create and market innovative and mouthwatering food products to cater to adventurous eaters and food enthusiasts. - **Culinary Tools and Ingredients:** Providing specialized tools and ingredients to support the creation and execution of unique recipes. - **Recipe and Cooking Platforms:** Developing platforms that offer easy-to-follow recipes and cooking tips for individuals seeking simple and flavorful dishes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Savory Snacking Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snacking-donut.md) - [Spaghetti-Filled Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spaghetti-garlic-bread-donut.md) - [Internationally-Inspired Cheese Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheerful-cheese.md) - [Mini Savory Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/be-snacking.md) - [Creamy Croissant-Style Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/strawberries-cream-croissantstyle-donuts.md) - [Flavorful Grilled Cheeses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/castello-cheese.md) - [Sausage-Shaped Grillable Cheeses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheesedog.md) - [Layered Grilled Cheese Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/double-royale-grilled-cheese.md) - [Grilled Cheese-Style Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grilled-cheesestyle-bites.md)
