McDonald’s Breakfast Items
By: Kristen Zeimetz
Sausage McMuffin with Egg
It goes without saying McDonald’s has some killer breakfast. There isn’t much that isn’t good, but the Sausage McMuffin with Egg is definitely a star. I prefer it much better than the regular Egg McMuffin which comes with Canadian bacon instead of sausage (Sausage is my favorite food.). The sausage fills you up 10x more than the little slice of ham, and the English muffin absorbs the sausage grease goodness. I wish you could still get them all day (my waist line thanks me though). A
Hashbrowns
These are great! Who doesn’t love a hashbrown? Hot. Crunchy. Greasy. Delicious. However, I believe they are over $2 for one now, which is highway robbery in my book, so for that reason, I gotta only give it a B-.
Coffee
McDonald’s really caught on fire in the coffee game in the past 15 years. Holy hell is their coffee good! Obviously, there are a gazillion different coffee variations you can get, and the best being their frappes - mocha to me being the star. If I’m having a bad day, hand me one of those and my day is immediately better.
Plain coffee: A
Frappe: A+++
Big Breakfast
Back in the day you felt super fancy if you got the Big Breakfast. It came with everything: sausage, bacon, eggs, a biscuit and hot cakes. Now, I believe it doesn’t include the hot cakes and they ditched the fun styrofoam container that actually kept it hot in the 90s. Boo. C
Steak, Egg and Cheese Bagel
Oh mama. This is the king of breakfast items. It’s so good, it should be illegal. It’s a greasy mess that makes me immediately feel like a fat pig after consumption. But the mix of steak, cheese sauce, and grilled onions with a fluffy egg on a toasted soft bagel is heavenly. You can also get steak on the English muffin, biscuit and McGriddle, but I like the OG.
