McDonald's Sausage, Egg & Cheese McGriddles Complete Information

A McDonald's Sausage, Egg & Cheese McGriddles costs $5.99 and carries 550 calories with 20g of protein. Sausage patty, folded egg and American cheese between two syrup filled griddle cakes.

This is the full McGriddles and the heaviest breakfast sandwich in the range. Against the $4.39 plain Sausage version at 430 calories, the egg and cheese add roughly 180 calories and nearly double the protein to 20g. It is the sweet and savoury combination taken as far as the menu takes it: maple in the bread, sage in the sausage, and cheese holding the middle together. The meal version at $9.09 bundles Hash Browns and a drink. Pair it with a black Coffee (Small) at $2.49, which cuts the sweetness better than juice does.

Health Insight

At 550 calories and 1290mg of sodium, this one is best treated as an occasional order rather than an everyday one.

How to Make a Sausage, Egg & Cheese McGriddles at Home?

Four components, and the order they go in decides if it holds together. Cheese sits against a hot patty so it melts and glues the stack; anywhere else and the whole thing slides apart. The restaurant version is $5.99.

Tips

  • Cheese under the hot patty, never on top of the egg. It is what holds the stack together.
  • Cook the cakes last if you can; they go leathery faster than anything else in the build.
  • Freeze the syrup beads properly or the sweetness disappears into the batter.

Variations

  • Drop the egg and cheese for the plain Sausage McGriddles at $4.39.
  • Swap sausage for bacon for the Bacon, Egg & Cheese McGriddles at $5.99.
  • Add a spoon of hot sauce, which cuts the maple better than most people expect.

Serve hot with Hash Browns. The restaurant sandwich is $5.99 and the meal $9.09.

Sausage, Egg & Cheese McGriddles Questions

How much is a Sausage, Egg & Cheese McGriddles?

It is $5.99 at a typical US restaurant, a median from live restaurant listings with the range shown above. The meal version is $9.09.

How many calories in a Sausage, Egg & Cheese McGriddles?

550 calories with 20g of protein, the heaviest McGriddles on the menu. The plain Sausage version is 430 calories with 11g.

What makes McGriddles sweet?

Maple flavored syrup baked into the griddle cakes as pockets, so it is inside the bread rather than poured on top. That is the entire concept, and it is unique to this range on the menu.

Which is better, the sausage or bacon McGriddles?

Different rather than better. The sausage version carries 20g of protein at 550 calories; the $5.99 bacon version is lighter at 430 with smoke instead of sage.

Can I order a McGriddles without the syrup cakes?

No, since the syrup is baked into the cakes rather than added. If the sweetness is the problem, the same filling on a biscuit or English muffin is on the menu without it.
