Frequently Asked Questions – McDonald’s Egg McMuffin® Meal

The Egg McMuffin® Meal is McDonald’s classic breakfast combo featuring the iconic Egg McMuffin® sandwich paired with crispy Hash Browns and a small McCafé® Premium Roast Coffee. The Egg McMuffin itself is made with a toasted English muffin, a freshly cracked USDA Grade A egg cooked on the grill, lean Canadian bacon, a slice of melted American cheese, and real butter. Combined with golden-brown hash browns and freshly brewed coffee, it provides a complete, satisfying breakfast experience that’s been a McDonald’s staple since 1971.

The Egg McMuffin® Meal typically costs between $6.99 and $8.99, depending on your location, local market pricing, and any ongoing promotions.

What you get:

Egg McMuffin® sandwich
Hash Browns
Small McCafé® Premium Roast Coffee (hot or iced at participating locations)

You can upgrade to a medium or large coffee, substitute your coffee for orange juice or another beverage, or add extras like apple slices for a small additional charge. McDelivery® orders may cost more due to delivery fees and service charges. Check the McDonald’s app for exact pricing in your area and to access exclusive breakfast deals.

The Egg McMuffin® Meal includes three components with the following key ingredients:

Egg McMuffin® sandwich:

Toasted English muffin (enriched wheat flour, yeast, corn meal)
Freshly cracked Grade A egg
Canadian bacon (cured pork loin)
Pasteurized process American cheese
Real butter (salted and clarified)

Hash Browns:

Shredded potatoes
Vegetable oil blend
Natural beef flavor (contains wheat & milk derivatives)
Seasonings (salt, black pepper)

Small Premium Roast Coffee:

Freshly brewed McCafé Premium Roast Coffee (100% Arabica beans)

All components work together to create a balanced, protein-rich breakfast that provides sustained energy throughout the morning.

No, the Egg McMuffin® Meal is not gluten-free. Both main components contain gluten:

English muffin: Made with enriched wheat flour, making it unsuitable for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.

Hash Browns: While primarily made from potatoes, they contain wheat-based ingredients including corn flour and a natural beef flavoring derived from wheat derivatives.

Even if you ordered just the egg, cheese, and bacon without the muffin, the hash browns would still contain gluten, making the complete meal inappropriate for anyone avoiding gluten. Cross-contamination during kitchen preparation is also likely, further increasing the risk for those with severe gluten sensitivities.

Yes, McDonald’s offers extensive customization options for the Egg McMuffin® Meal:

Egg McMuffin modifications:

Remove Canadian bacon (makes it vegetarian if paired with different sides)
Remove cheese (reduces calories and dairy)
No butter (reduces fat content)
Add extra egg or bacon (for more protein)
Request no yolk on the egg (available at some locations)

Side substitutions:

Replace hash browns with apple slices (significantly reduces calories)
Add oatmeal as an additional side
Request a different breakfast side (availability varies)

Beverage options:

Upgrade to medium or large coffee
Switch to iced coffee (no extra charge at most locations)
Substitute orange juice, apple juice, or milk
Choose McCafé specialty drinks like lattes or cappuccinos (additional charge)

Customizations can be made through the McDonald’s app (easiest method), at the in-store kiosk, or by requesting modifications at the counter or drive-thru.

The complete Egg McMuffin® Meal contains approximately 455 calories, making it one of the lighter breakfast meal options at McDonald’s.

The Egg McMuffin® Meal contains multiple allergens across its components:

Primary allergens:

Wheat – English muffin, hash browns (in beef flavoring)
Egg – Freshly cracked egg in the sandwich
Milk – American cheese, butter, hash browns (in beef flavoring)
Soy – American cheese (soy lecithin)

May contain:

Sesame – Possible trace amounts in the English muffin

Meal Allergen Summary: Wheat, Egg, Milk, Soy (May Contain: Sesame)

Cross-contact with other allergens may occur during kitchen preparation, especially in shared equipment and cooking areas. If you have severe allergies, always consult with restaurant staff and review the most current allergen information through the McDonald’s app or website.

Yes, the Canadian bacon used in the Egg McMuffin® is made from real cured pork loin. Unlike American-style bacon which comes from pork belly, Canadian bacon is a leaner cut taken from the back of the pig (loin area).

It’s seasoned and preserved using ingredients like:

Water
Sugar and salt
Sodium lactate
Sodium phosphate
Natural flavors
Preservatives (sodium diacetate and sodium nitrite)

The Canadian bacon is pre-cooked and then grilled before being placed in the sandwich, giving it a slightly crispy exterior while maintaining its tender, lean texture. This leaner bacon option provides protein without excessive grease, contributing to the Egg McMuffin’s balanced flavor profile.

The Egg McMuffin® Meal is exclusively available during breakfast hours, which typically run from 5:00 AM to 10:30 AM at most McDonald’s locations on weekdays, and sometimes until 11:00 AM on weekends at certain restaurants.

Important timing considerations:

Breakfast hours can vary by location (some start earlier, some end later)
24-hour locations may have different transition times
High-traffic urban locations might extend breakfast slightly
Airport and travel center locations may have different hours

After breakfast hours end, the meal won’t be available until the following morning. To confirm exact breakfast hours for your local McDonald’s:

The Egg McMuffin® Meal contains minimal artificial preservatives:

Canadian bacon: Contains preservatives including sodium nitrite and sodium diacetate to ensure shelf life, food safety, and flavor retention. These are standard curing agents used in processed meats.

Other components:

Egg: No preservatives (freshly cracked)
English muffin: Made without artificial preservatives (contains natural dough conditioners)
Cheese: No artificial preservatives listed
Hash Browns: Contains some additives for texture and color maintenance (sodium acid pyrophosphate) but not classified as artificial preservatives

The majority of the meal is made without artificial preservatives, with only the Canadian bacon containing standard meat preservation ingredients for safety and quality purposes.

Yes, you can absolutely upgrade or substitute your drink in the Egg McMuffin® Meal. Most McDonald’s locations will allow you to swap the small hot Premium Roast Coffee for:

No additional charge (at most locations):

Small iced coffee
Same-size hot coffee (already included)

With additional charge:

Medium or large coffee (hot or iced)
Iced latte or iced cappuccino
Iced caramel coffee or mocha
Orange juice or apple juice
Milk (whole, low-fat, or chocolate)
Any other McCafé specialty beverage

The easiest way to make this substitution is through the McDonald’s app when placing your order, where you can see all available options and any additional costs. You can also request the change at the counter, kiosk, or drive-thru.

Yes, the egg in the Egg McMuffin® is a USDA Grade A whole egg that is cracked fresh and cooked on the grill in each McDonald’s kitchen daily. This is one of the key factors that distinguishes the Egg McMuffin from other fast-food breakfast sandwiches.

Unlike many competitors who use liquid egg mixtures or pre-cooked egg patties, McDonald’s:

Cracks each egg individually
Cooks it using an egg ring on the grill
Prepares it to order for maximum freshness
Uses real whole eggs without additives

This fresh preparation method results in the Egg McMuffin’s signature round egg with authentic egg flavor and texture. It’s the same type of egg preparation method you might use at home, just executed with professional speed and consistency.

No, McDonald’s hash browns are not gluten-free, despite being primarily made from potatoes. They contain gluten from two sources:

Direct gluten ingredients:

Corn flour (may contain wheat traces)
Natural beef flavor derived from wheat

The natural beef flavoring used in McDonald’s hash browns contains hydrolyzed wheat as a starting ingredient, making them completely unsuitable for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.

Additionally, cross-contamination during preparation in the shared kitchen environment makes them even less safe for gluten-sensitive individuals. There is currently no gluten-free alternative for hash browns at U.S. McDonald’s locations.

No, the Egg McMuffin® Meal is not vegetarian-friendly for two reasons:

Canadian bacon: Made from pork, making the Egg McMuffin itself non-vegetarian.

Hash Browns: Contain a beef-derived natural flavoring (made from hydrolyzed wheat and milk with beef fat), making them unsuitable for vegetarians even though they don’t contain visible meat.

To make it vegetarian: Even if you remove the Canadian bacon from the Egg McMuffin, the hash browns still prevent this meal from being considered vegetarian. You would need to substitute the hash browns with apple slices or another meat-free side option.

A vegetarian could order: Egg McMuffin without bacon + apple slices + coffee for a truly vegetarian breakfast meal.

No, the Egg McMuffin® Meal is not vegan and cannot easily be modified to become vegan. It contains multiple animal-derived ingredients across all components:

Egg McMuffin:

Whole egg (animal product)
Canadian bacon (pork)
American cheese (dairy)
Butter (dairy)

Hash Browns:

Natural beef flavor (animal-derived)
Contains milk derivatives

Coffee:

Black coffee is vegan, but adding cream makes it non-vegan

There is currently no plant-based alternative available for the egg, bacon, cheese, or butter that would allow for a vegan version of this meal at McDonald’s U.S. locations. Some international markets have tested plant-based breakfast options, but they’re not widely available in the United States.

The complete Egg McMuffin® Meal contains approximately 1,090 milligrams of sodium, which represents about 47% of the recommended daily intake based on a 2,300 mg daily limit (or about 73% if following a 1,500 mg low-sodium diet).

Sodium breakdown by component:

Egg McMuffin®: ~770mg (primarily from Canadian bacon and cheese)
Hash Browns: ~310mg (from salt and seasonings)
Coffee: ~5mg (negligible amount)

Ways to reduce sodium:

Order without Canadian bacon (saves ~450mg)
Request no cheese (saves ~180mg)
Skip the hash browns or substitute with apple slices (saves ~310mg)
Don’t add salt to your hash browns

The Canadian bacon is the primary sodium contributor due to its curing process. If you’re monitoring sodium intake, customizing the meal by removing one or more of these components can significantly reduce the total sodium content.

Here’s how the Egg McMuffin® Meal stacks up against other popular breakfast options:
