Bacon Donuts (not what you think)

midwestsmoker

So, our 25 year old daughter really gets into cooking and she's tried some crazy dishes, (I see a Christmas Mini Max in her future) and she comes across this Bacon Donut appetizer. You use a pineapple ring, onion ring, mozzarella string cheese wrapped in bacon, rubbed with Meat Church of course and Wala, you have and artery clogging, taste bud tingling, mouth watering delight.

Man those look great. I remember trying to make those and I was cussing up a storm trying to put them together. Looks like she has it down!

Yep, you got it. It's a little tricky but once you do a couple you get the hang of it.

We made 2 trays, she wrapped one tray and I did the other. Not to take away from her but that's my tray. Once you get the hang of it it's easy to wrap.

Dear God, man....show us a cooked picture!   A sliced shot?!?  A prep photo???   THAT LOOKS AWESOME!

Recipe I linked to has photos. Useful because that website's explanation of how to make them isn't very good. Looks translated.

Pinch me....that can't be real! That ranks right up there with the Model T and the Internet for best invention yet!

Sorry, don't have any. I was overwhelmed with the entire eggsperience with 2 eggs going and a steady consumption of adult beverages. I'll do better next time.

No worries, I was able to find a picture of your daughter's cook;

Thank you, she takes after her mother. We had 4 straight days of egging, I don't know how many lbs of bacon we went through

Thank you for sharing!!

midwestsmoker

No problem, glad everyone is enjoying it. 

Thatgrimguy

I love it! Definitely going to try this.

Those look amazing.

I went out and made some today.  It was difficult wrapping the bacon through the pineapple.  A couple of variations might be a 1/2 doughnut or ABTs with the same ingredients...

Consider this stolen  
Agree MM in her future.

Looks great for your first attempt. HINT: the colder the bacon the harder it is to wrap, if you are right handed, hold it in your left hand, start at the 12:00 position and wrap clockwise over the top and up thru the hole . Come thru the hole from the bottom side pushing up with your middle finger.

I may have spoiled the surprise. I told her it was getting a lot of press on here and to check it out. She didn't say anything but I'm sure she read it.

Also, peel the cheese into quarters or eighths. Don't use it in full diameter.

I will be making these again, they were Eggcellent!  Adding pineapple preserves to the Bbq sauce for the glaze was a plus.
