For A Much Heartier McMuffin, Order It Swedish Style

Though you can start your day with a basic Egg McMuffin, with a bit of inspiration borrowed from Sweden, your day can start on a meatier note. In Sweden, McDonald's sells a sandwich called the Mighty McMuffin. This toasted English muffin is packed with egg, bacon, cheddar, and a sausage patty. It is a muscled-up McMuffin, offering several toppings from different breakfast sandwiches conveniently packaged in one. 

Without having to fly across the Atlantic, you can assemble your own Mighty McMuffin stateside, even though the item isn't listed on American menus. DIY the equivalent by ordering a Sausage McMuffin with Egg, then request bacon to be added to the order. The extra addition might seem simple, but the move can transform your usual morning order into one that is sure to help tide you over until the lunch hour. If you have ignored hungry growls from your stomach late morning, this could be the answer you have been looking for. 

A similar version to the Mighty McMuffin can be found in other countries, including Australia, Singapore, Canada, and the U.K., offering a certain kind of social proof that the bulked-up sandwich has real staying power. The stacked build means that bleary-eyed customers don't have to choose between sausage, bacon, or egg. Instead of settling for one protein, customers can bite down all three, and those who have seem to appreciate the option. "Honestly, over the last 40 years, it's really the only menu item that remains consistent and satisfying," wrote a fan on Reddit. One taster on TikTok described it as a breakfast roll on an English muffin, while another sampler rated the sandwich a "9/10" on Instagram.

Once you have tasted the bacon-enhanced McMuffin for yourself, you can customize the taste of the sandwich with condiments or other alterations. A Norwegian-style Egg McMuffin comes packed with vegetables, while adding jalapeños may steer your classic Egg McMuffin into a spicier lane. Some fans are shoving hash browns into the stack for added textural appeal. However you choose to make breakfast your own, this is a sandwich order that showcases that more is indeed more.
