The McDonald's Ordering Hack To Receive Fresh Eggs For Breakfast
By Wendy Gould
To get a fresh egg at McDonald's, request the use of a freshly cracked Egg McMuffin egg or a "round egg" instead of the folded prepackaged eggs they usually serve.
It's worth noting that not all McDonald's breakfast items can have the round egg substituted. There are also caveats to consider when ordering, as you may incur extra costs.
Only one McDonald's breakfast item — the Egg McMuffin — uses fresh eggs. For McGriddles, biscuits, and bagel sandwiches, you can request a round egg.
You can try getting a round egg substitute for the Big Breakfast if you order in-store. Sausage Burritos can't substitute fresh eggs, as it's prepared with pre-cooked liquid eggs.
If you want that fresh egg taste, request a round egg next time you're ordering off the breakfast menu — but remember that not all dishes can comply.
