These savory meat-filled doughnuts are somewhere between fluffy doughnuts, fried buns, and traditional Eastern European belyashi. Soft yeast dough surrounds a juicy meat filling, creating a crispy golden outside and tender center. They are perfect as a snack, lunch, or party food. The filling idea is adapted from a traditional meat doughnut recipe.

The first fish burger to make it big—McDonald’s Filet-O-Fish—was created in 1962 by a Cincinnati franchise owner after noticing his sales dropped every Friday when local Catholic customers avoided meat. It became so popular that it beat out a rival idea called the “Hula Burger” (a grilled pineapple sandwich!) in a sales test—and has been on menus ever since.

Life is full of tough decisions, like choosing between a juicy apple and a slice of apple pie – but why not have both and call it balanced fruitrition!
