For 50 years, McDonald’s has been serving the original breakfast sandwich. While it has been a menu staple, these tasty Egg McMuffin hacks prove that a food iconic is always a top choice. And, with a little culinary creativity that classic flavor never gets old.

Many people start their day with a trip to McDonald’s. Whether it is a meal with coffee and a hashbrown or adding a sweet treat from the bakery menu, that rise and shine just seems brighter with a stop at McDonald’s.

While many people think of that Big Mac or even Happy Meal as a McDonald’s classic menu item, the reality is that the Egg McMuffin is the breakfast sandwich standard. The handheld combination of egg, Canadian Bacon and cheese on an English muffin is always a tasty choice.

On November 18, McDonald’s is celebrating the Egg McMuffin by offering it at a throwback menu price of just 63 cents. Available via the app, this breakfast offer could have people buying a McMuffin for everyone in the office. Or, it could be the time to try one of these Egg McMuffin hacks.

How many tasty Egg McMuffin hacks do you know?

Many people love a great food hack. Luckily there are numerous Egg McMuffin hacks that fit almost any flavor craving. From a twist on a classic sandwich to a touch of savory and sweet, all the various food combinations keep that classic breakfast from ever becoming boring.

McDonald’s shares eight different Egg McMuffin hacks. While some ideas might be a little more flavor adventurous, others might be the menu item that people have been craving.

For example, adding bacon and tomato to the Egg McMuffin turns it into a breakfast BLT. Plus, who doesn’t want more fruit in their day.

Or, bring some bold flavors to the breakfast sandwich by adding some Spicy Buffalo Sauce. If that sauce is too spicy, consider topping with some salsa.

Some of the other breakfast hacks are a little more complicated. For those who want to skip the muffin, order two hash browns and use them as the “bread.” If more protein is perfection, order two Sausage Egg McMuffin and Egg McMuffin and remove the buns.

The most creative flavor options feature some jelly. From adding strawberry preserves and butter to Grape Jam and a hashbrown, those menu hacks might not be the typical combinations that people know.

Overall, the various Egg McMuffin hacks show that McDonald’s menu items can be customized, especially when ordering with the app. Many food lovers have discovered a wide array of food combinations. Whether it is a secret menu, menu hack or just enjoying your own personal flavor combinations, McDonald’s is ready and waiting to deliver a tasty breakfast.
