McDonald's Sausage McMuffin with Egg Complete Information

A McDonald's Sausage McMuffin with Egg costs $4.99 and carries 480 calories with 21g of protein. A seasoned pork sausage patty, a freshly cracked round egg and American cheese on a toasted, buttered English muffin.

This is the heaviest of the three McMuffins and the highest in protein. Against the $2.99 Sausage McMuffin it adds the egg for roughly 7g more protein, and against the $5.64 Egg McMuffin it swaps lean Canadian bacon for a fatter sausage patty, which is where the extra calories come from. At 21g of protein it is the strongest breakfast sandwich on the menu on that measure, and one of the few items anywhere on the board that carries a fresh cracked shell egg rather than a folded patty. Pair it with Hash Browns, or take the meal version at $8.49 which bundles both with a drink.

Health Insight

At 480 calories and 830mg of sodium, this one is best treated as an occasional order rather than an everyday one.

How to Make a Sausage McMuffin with Egg at Home?

Tips

  • Sausage first, egg last. The patty holds heat well; the egg has a two minute window.
  • The lid and a splash of water set the egg top without flipping, which is the restaurant method.
  • Cheese between patty and muffin, never on top of the egg, or it never melts.

Variations

  • Drop the egg for the plain Sausage McMuffin at $2.99.
  • Swap the sausage for Canadian bacon and you have built an Egg McMuffin, $5.64 at the counter.
  • Serve the same stack on a biscuit for a Sausage Biscuit with Egg, $5.49 in restaurant.

Serve immediately with Hash Browns. The restaurant version is $4.99, or $8.49 as a meal with a drink.
