McDonald's unveils spicy twist with new breakfast menu lineup
McDonald's announced Tuesday morning that it has turned up the heat on breakfast with the launch of its new Spicy McMuffin sandwich lineup.
The limited time offer features three takes on the iconic McMuffin: the Spicy Egg McMuffin, Spicy Sausage McMuffin and Spicy Sausage McMuffin with Egg. Each sandwich is served on a toasted English muffin with melted cheese and either sausage or Canadian bacon. The sandwiches are finished with a drizzle of McDonald's signature Spicy Pepper Sauce.
'I love anything spicy and I'm a sucker for McDonald's breakfast, so this sounds like a fast-food dream, especially if I've had one too many cocktails the night before,' said Alex Darus a food reporter for and The Plain Dealer.
According to McDonald's, the menu additions mark a significant seasonal update and coincide with the original Egg McMuffin's 50th anniversary. The company also noted that eggs used in the new sandwiches are now 100% cage-free in the U.S., part of their ongoing sustainability commitments.
The spicy sandwiches are only available for a limited time at participating locations nationwide, but McDonald's did not say for how long the new sandwiches would be around.
McDonald's recently announced the return of its fan-favorite Snack Wrap, which will be available nationwide Thursday.
Here's a look at the newest limited-time items heating up the McDonald's menu this summer:
Blueberry & Crème Pie: A sweet summer twist on McDonald's classic baked pie, this limited-time dessert features warm layers of blueberries and smooth vanilla crème in a golden, flaky crust.
