Move over McGriddle. McDonald’s New Breakfast Sandwich brings a new flavor to the morning routine. Ready to rise and shine with some nutty, sweet flavors?
The old line about breakfast being the most important meal of the day might seem cliché, but it still holds true. Even if food trends change that coffee order, many things stay the same. A hearty, convenient handheld breakfast sandwich is always a top choice.
McDonald’s has always been associated with breakfast. That iconic Egg McMuffin was the standard. Protein-packed, reasonable calorie count, and always tasty, people know that they can count on that breakfast.
With the new sandwich, the Honey Brown Butter Bacon Egg and Cheese Biscuit, it is the condiment that is the gamechanger. The drizzle of nutty, sweet honey brings all the ingredients together.
Honey and biscuits are a classic pairing. Brown butter is slightly nutty, which adds another flavor layer to the classic breakfast. It stands up to the unctuous bacon and cheese. Plus, it makes the biscuit’s buttery, flakey flavors pop.
Is McDonald’s Brown Butter Honey Available on Other Breakfast Sandwiches?
While the Honey Brown Butter Bacon Egg and Cheese Biscuit is available now, for a limited time, my McDonald’s app revealed a little extra surprise. In addition to the bacon, egg, and cheese option, another protein packed sandwich is available.
The Honey Brown Butter is available with the Crispy Chicken Biscuit. This food order feels like a riff on Southern classic. Everyone knows that honey, biscuits, and fried chicken all go together. Making it portable for breakfast is a smart choice.
Both the bacon, egg, and cheese and the chicken options can be customized. Guests can choose to have light, regular or even extra (with an additional cost) brown butter honey.
But, it does not appear that guests can order a side of the specialty condiment. Personally, this honey would be delicious on the classic Egg McMuffin. A little brown butter, English muffin, and ham sounds like another smart pairing.
Is McDonald’s Becoming the King of Condiments?
The new Brown Butter Honey sandwiches are another example of the quick service restaurant focusing on condiments. From the Big Mac sauce to the new Caesar sauce, guests are drizzling, dipping, and devouring the condiments.
In a way, condiments turn classic menu items into new offerings with minimal effort. Yes, a chicken wrap becomes a salad twist with some Caesar sauce. The classic breakfast sandwich feels like an elevated twist with the brown butter honey.
These food offerings entice guests to make a special visit to McDonald’s. When familiar favorites feel new, people are hungry for more. There is no risk but big reward for the food brand.
Will more condiments roll out from the McDonald’s drive-thru? Based on the current success, the fall is shaping up to be saucy.
