What Is the Bacon, Egg & Cheese McGriddles® Meal
This meal centers around the McGriddles® sandwich, which uses two soft, maple-flavored griddle cakes in place of a traditional muffin or biscuit. Inside sits thick-cut applewood smoked bacon, a folded egg, and a slice of American cheese, combining sweet and savory flavors in one sandwich. The meal is rounded out with a side of hash browns and a small McCafé Premium Roast Coffee.
Unlike some of McDonald’s limited-time offerings, this item is part of the standard, ongoing breakfast lineup rather than a seasonal or promotional item.
