Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease 2 6-donut pans with nonstick spray.
- Make the donuts: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil, and buttermilk. Add the cheddar cheese, ranch dressing mix, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and flour and whisk to combine.
- Fill each mold of the prepared donut pans with 3 tablespoons of the egg mixture.
- Bake the donuts until puffed and cooked through, about 12 minutes. Carefully remove from the pans and transfer to a wire rack set over a baking sheet.
- While the donuts bake, make the cheese sauce: Cook 4 strips of bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, turning often, until crispy, 7-8 minutes. Using tongs, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, leaving the rendered fat behind in the pan. Chop the bacon into fine crumbles, then set aside.
- To the pan with the reserved bacon fat, add the flour and whisk to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until lightly toasted. Slowly whisk in the milk. Cook, whisking constantly, until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 3-4 minutes. Stir in the cheddar and Parmesan cheese and whisk until melted and the sauce is smooth, about 2 minutes longer.
- Top each donut with a large spoonful of the cheese sauce, the crumbled bacon, and a sprinkle of chives.
- Enjoy!
