Savory donuts with sharp cheddar, fresh rosemary, and a hint of garlic. These donuts are dipped in melted butter and then finished off with a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese. Serve these with a runny egg and some bacon and you have yourself a pretty awesome breakfast.
Savory donuts have been on my mind for a couple of months. I had heard tell of these cutting-edge donuts and had to develop my own creation. There are thousands of sweet donut recipes and there are thousands of savory combinations out there waiting to be created. Get creative with this recipe. Swap out cheddar for Asiago or sage instead of rosemary.
After we took the photos we fried up some eggs over easy and mopped up that golden yolk with this donut. It was heaven! If you have leftovers put them in an airtight container. Make some fettuccine Alfredo. These savory donuts taste pretty amazing with some Alfredo sauce. Boom! Breakfast and dinner! You are welcome!

These doughnuts are pure genius. To be honest with you. . .I have never actually had a savory doughnut. What?!? Yeah I know. . .shame on me. But after seeing these. . .I'm thinking that I might need to whip up a batch for the hubby this weekend. Do you think I will win a world's best wife award if I do?
