Why Are McDonald's Eggs Extra Fluffy?
By Matthew Spina
McDonald's famous Egg McMuffin is so good partly due to those perfect circular eggs made fluffy through good old-fashioned steaming.
While some McDonald's eggs are made from packaged liquid eggs, the Egg McMuffin's egg patty is cracked fresh, and water is added to the griddle to steam the egg while it's cooking.
The steam in the pan helps the eggs set without excess browning, giving them a tender texture and keeping them moist. It's a foolproof way to get the perfect egg every time.
