Equipment

Nutrition

Tips

• For a runnier yolk, fry eggs less. For firmer yolks, cook longer.
• Warm the donuts slightly in the microwave to enhance syrup absorption.

Storage

Not recommended due to texture changes, but can be loosely covered and refrigerated for up to 2 hours.

Freezing: Does not freeze well due to the delicate texture of the donuts and eggs.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve with fresh fruit salad for a balanced breakfast.
• Pair with a hot cup of coffee for a cozy morning treat.
