This is a fun little recipe I came up with for Easter Brunch that was such a hit, I’m planning to bust it out again for New Year’s morning. I’m thinking they’ll go quite nicely with some fresh eggs from the Ladybirds, and something a little bubbly to drink (perhaps a pretty pink Kir Royale? My new favorite cocktail!)
To make 30 donut burgers, you’ll need:
-30 glazed donut holes
-2 lbs ground sausage meat
It’s overwhelming, I know.
Form the sausage into little balls (about the size of a ‘super ball’–you know, the kind you used to get out of the machine at the supermarket?) and then flatten it into little patties and cook them in a pan until they are done to your liking. Let them cool a bit on a paper towel to drain, and then gently slice your donut holes in half. Build your burgers, people! Of course, I recommend trimming them out in some festive ribbon-adorned toothpicks, but maybe that’s just me!

That looks amazing. A big fan of the Kir Royale drink too. When is the party did you say?
Happy New Year!!
Hahahah! Same to you, Katja!!
I am about to put you on my Evil Temptress list.
Thank heaven for your generous Ladybirds who provide a little more protein to the mix which should get a diabetic such as myself through the combination of donut and alcohol.
Yes, the protein and fat would save my blood sugar and now I HAVE to try this. It isn’t all that far off the mark from what my sister and I discovered we both, unknowingly, had been indulging in secretly for years. That would be sausage biscuits with grape jelly…yum!! This one has GOT to be passed on to my siblings!!
I am just a fan of the whole savory-sweet thing!! Can you tell? The sausage biscuit with grape jelly sounds spot on!
Looks awesome! I think I could eat half a dozen myself.
yum!
These tiny treasures are brilliant! I bet they were a HUGE hit. Yummy!
