Do you remember where you were when you learned that McDonald’s was offering up breakfast all day? It was a legendary moment — and something fast food fans were requesting for years. Now, you might see one of the chain’s most popular breakfast items go through a bit of a transformation. And it might just change your morning game entirely.
The company is currently testing a brand new version of the McGriddle. If it’s been some time since you’ve had this cult-favorite menu item, what sets it apart from an average breakfast sandwich is that its got a unique “bread.” Called a McGriddle cake, it’s quite similar to a maple-flavored pancake. And it’s stamped with a signature “M,” as McDonald’s deserves every bit of credit they can get with this product. The bacon, egg, and cheese McGriddle is a popular choice among fans who just aren’t craving a McMuffin today.
So, what’s the new McGriddle all about? Well, according to Extra Crispy, a French toast variety is being tested out in Minnesota. It’s the product you didn’t even know you needed.
Despite its limited availability, the French toast McGriddle is already listed on the McDonald’s website. And as per their website, the product consists of “warm brioche French toast with a touch of syrup pairs with freshly cracked egg, sausage, thick-cut bacon and melty American cheese for a harmonious blend of sweet and savory.” Sadly, the French toast isn’t branded with an “M” — at least not at the moment.
The site lists the special McGriddle at 650 calories and 31 grams of protein. To compare, the bacon, egg, and cheese McGriddle has 420 calories and 18 grams of protein. But factoring in taste and satisfaction, it seems like both choices weigh in at 100% amazing.
If you’re lucky enough to live in Minnesota, you might want to jump at the chance to try this out before the rest of the country.
To keep up with all of McDonald’s deals, they have a special section on their website. Plus, when you use the McDonald’s app, you’ll be entered to win a McGold Card (aka free McDonald’s for life!).
