"I've never been much of a breakfast person unless, of course, the breakfast comes from McDonald's. Somehow, this fast food giant managed to turn me into someone who sets an alarm just to snag a sausage McMuffin and a hash brown before breakfast hours end. Back in the days of McDonald's all-day breakfast, I'll admit, I was a loyal fan. I faced the delicious dilemma of pairing a sausage McMuffin with fries more often than I'd like to admit."
"But there's a lot more to McDonald's breakfast than the classics. Beyond the famous McMuffins and hotcakes, the fast food chain serves a surprisingly wide range of breakfast options, some that might even surprise you. Did you know McDonald's offers not just sausage and bacon, but also chicken, steak, and Canadian bacon for breakfast? Or that you can get two different kinds of eggs depending on the sandwich?"
"A plain bagel can be a perfectly satisfying breakfast - if it's served with the right accompaniments. Unfortunately, this is where McDonald's drops the ball. The chain's plain bagel lives up to its name a little too literally. The only topping option available is butter, and even after digging through the sauces and sides section in search of cream cheese or a fruit spread, I came up empty."
McDonald's breakfast spans classic items like McMuffins and hotcakes as well as less obvious options such as chicken, steak, and Canadian bacon sandwiches. The menu offers two egg preparations depending on the sandwich. A tasting covered fan favorites and overlooked items including hash browns, hotcakes, and oatmeal with fruit and maple. Sausage emerged as the most prominent and favored breakfast protein across offerings. Some items perform well in texture or appearance, but others fall short; for example, the plain bagel is toasted but bland, lacks topping choices beyond butter, and resembles a store-bought bagel.
