Late For McDonald's Breakfast? It May Be The Perfect Time To Custom-Order This Brunch McMuffin

McDonald's has introduced plenty of classic fast-food staples over the years, with items so popular that McNuggets, Big Macs, and McMuffins have become part of the everyday lexicon. As iconic as those menu mainstays are, the Golden Arches' unofficial secret menu has developed its own following, inspired by customers creating their own twists on McDonald's classics. The Mc10:35 is one such creation that joins breakfast and lunch favorites together on a bun.

The Mc10:35 (also known as the McBrunch Burger) takes its name from the very, very narrow window of time each day when breakfast and lunch overlap, according to one user on TikTok. It features a Double Cheeseburger topped with egg and hash browns — essentially a Double Cheeseburger combined with an Egg McMuffin — giving customers' taste buds a chance to taste the best of both meals. While it remains a "secret" item in America, Australians have enjoyed a version of this since in 2018 when McDonald's rolled out the Big Brekkie Burger, involving all of the ingredients of a McBrunch Burger, plus a few more, to create a meaty mountain of a sandwich.

While the Mc10:35 may be delicious, getting one is not as easy as one might think. Breakfast hours can vary by location, so customers have to be at McDonald's at the right time to make sure both menus are available. But being there at the right time isn't a guarantee either. Some TikTokers have successfully ordered it, but some locations may not be willing or able to make the McBrunch Burger, which means you might have to take matters into your own hands.

So, how do you get your hands on a not-so-secret secret menu item that doesn't officially exist? Show up on time. Most locations serve breakfast and lunch between 10:30 and 11:00 a.m., so getting there by 10:35 a.m. betters your chances of securing one.

Once you're there, you can try ordering a McBrunch Burger straight up. If you get puzzled looks, it's likely that employees may not know what it is. Instead customers recommend ordering a Double Cheeseburger and then requesting the breakfast additions. On the chance that employees have heard of it, they may customize it depending on what's available. Customers have reported getting a Mc10:35 that includes sausage, an egg round, or half an English muffin and half a sesame seed hamburger bun.

If you get there on time and can't get it by special request, the easiest way to enjoy a McBrunch Burger is to make it yourself. By ordering a Double Cheeseburger (or even a McDouble) and an Egg McMuffin, you can combine the two and enjoy. Once you've given it a go, you can try your luck with other breakfast ordering hacks or even use lunch items to enhance a McMuffin. No matter how you get it, the McBrunch Burger is definitely one secret menu item you don't have to miss out on.
