Chopped Breakfast Sandwiches With Doughnut Buns

Are you guys sick of the whole viral chopped bagel thing yet? I’m not, so here’s a chopped breakfast sandwich that I made!
The idea for this sandwich actually came about when I was talking with a buddy of mine right after I made my Chopped Chicago Style Hot Dog. I told him about another chopped sandwich idea I had that involved me taking a McDonald’s Big Mac and chopping up all the Big Mac stuff along with some fries and McNuggets and then putting everything back on the Big Mac Buns. He suggested using doughnuts as the bun instead of Big Mac buns and I wrote back “A breakfast sandwich chopped up on a doughnut instead of a bagel like everyone else is doing would be rad.”

Coincidentally there’s also a bakery near my house called Beach Bum Bakery that I’ve been meaning to check out ever since they opened so this seemed like the perfect opportunity to kill two birds with one stone! Beach Bum only sells doughnuts on weekends though and the selection changes every week, but this past Saturday when I saw on their Instagram page that they had Cookie Monster doughnuts I dropped everything, hopped in my car and headed on over!

I grabbed a couple doughnuts and then headed home where I made some scrambled eggs and cheese, breakfast sausages and bacon. I threw all the breakfast ingredients on a cutting board, chopped everything up added a few drizzles of Sriracha mayo just to kind of bind everything together. Then I sliced my doughnuts, transferred the scrambled egg mixture to the doughnut bottoms, put the tops back on, took a bite and it was everything I hoped for and more!

Using the Cookie Monster doughnuts might have been a bit of overkill and if I made these again I’d probably just use a basic glazed doughnut but come on, how cool do these sandwiches look?!
