The Breakfast Sandwich

I have seen the doughnut burger a few times but what about making a doughnut breakfast sandwich. This my version of it.

DOUGHNUT BREAKFAST SANDWICH

Assemble the sandwich so that the glazed portion of the doughnut will face the bacon, sausage, and eggs.  Cook the other items according to their instructions.  You can also add cheese if you would like.  Enjoy!
