Sausage Biscuit

What is it?

Seasoned pork and a buttermilk biscuit make up this simple breakfast sandwich from McDonald's. It skips the egg and cheese found in other morning combos, so you just get meat and bread. Typically peppery and lightly sage-scented, the patty sits between the two halves of a split biscuit that leans flaky, buttery, and a little crumbly. Served hot during breakfast hours, it's assembled on a biscuit rather than an English muffin, which gives it a different texture from the McMuffin line. Sausage fat can seep into the bottom half as it sits, so the bread softens over time. It's one of the simpler builds in the chain's morning lineup.
