What’s a restaurant we all know and love? It’s none other than McDonald’s! Some would say Mickey D’s, Makku, or just plain McDo, but we’re all united by their mouth-watering food. We would do anything to get our hands on their milkshakes and crispy chicken sandwiches, but the breakfast menu is where it’s at. The stack of warm pancakes drizzled with syrup, hash brown fresh from the deep fryer, and moist sausage patties are just a handful of favorites. But the best breakfast meal on the menu is the McDonald’s breakfast muffin. Fortunately, you’d get a taste of it in the comfort of your own home with our quick and easy copycat McDonald’s-Inspired Breakfast Sandwich Recipe.

Commonly Asked Questions

Can I freeze my breakfast sandwich?

Yes, you can! All you have to do is wrap your sandwiches in wax paper, parchment paper, or tin foil and place them in an air-tight container. You can freeze your breakfast sandwiches for a month. To reheat sandwiches, cover them with paper towels and microwave each side for a minute or until it’s completely warm. You can also wrap them in aluminum foil and heat the sandwich on a pan for 2 minutes on each side.

Can I make this ahead of time?

Definitely! These delicious sandwiches last up to 4 days in the fridge with a minor change. Instead of cooking the eggs sunny-side up, it’s best to cook them scrambled with salt and pepper, as egg whites tend to have a rubbery texture after being in the fridge for so long. Pop them in the microwave for 1 to 2 minutes or cook on a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 8 to 10 minutes, when you’re ready to chow down and enjoy!
