Bacon & Egg McMuffin

What is it?

Back bacon, a folded free-range egg, and a slice of American cheese sit inside a toasted English muffin. In the UK, McDonald’s uses back bacon rather than the streaky kind found in the US version, so the meat is thicker and less oily. The egg comes as a neat round fold, which keeps everything compact for eating on the move. Salted, smoky bacon meets soft egg and melted cheese, all held by a muffin with a lightly crisp cut surface. It’s one of the core items in McDonald’s UK breakfast lineup, usually served until 11am.
