Since the early 1970s, McDonald’s has been presenting its famous McMuffin breakfast sandwiches.The former McDonald’s insider suggests that you can also prepare them at home—and they will likely taste “far superior” to the original.
Mike Haracz, a former chef at McDonald’s and a TikToker (@chefmikeharacz), has recently uploaded a new video about the renowned McDonald’s breakfast offering. Haracz mentioned that a McDonald’s aficionado reached out to him to inquire about the English muffins that the chain uses for its McMuffin sandwiches. Haracz not only disclosed which store-bought English muffins resemble those from McDonald’s the most but also provided instructions on how to recreate the Sausage McMuffin with Egg at home.

After comparing the ingredients in McDonald’s English muffins to competing products at grocery stores, Haracz advised consumers to choose Bays brand English muffins. Unlike other English muffin brands, Bays’ muffins are stored in the refrigerator sections at retailers nationwide for added freshness. Consumers can search for stores in their state that sell them on the brand’s website.
The next step in recreating the McMuffin at home is obtaining all the other ingredients required for a sandwich. You’ll need to make a trip to Walmart and purchase the Great Value Fully Cooked Original Pork Sausage Patties and Great Value Deluxe American Cheese Slices. In his previous TikToks, Haracz revealed that these Walmart products are the best match for McDonald’s breakfast sausage and American cheese.
Regarding the egg component in a McMuffin, Haracz recommended purchasing regular grocery store eggs and cooking them in an egg ring to achieve McDonald’s signature round shape.
Once ready to assemble the sandwich, you need to heat the English muffins in a very specific manner. Haracz instructed viewers to halve them and toast them in a broiler with the soft interior facing upwards.
“You only want one side of heat hitting the open English muffin to brown the nooks and crannies,” he remarked.
After toasting, spread a little butter on the split muffin and use it to encase your cooked egg, reheated Great Value sausage patty, and a slice of the Great Value American cheese.
“Now, you have all the components to create your own—probably better than McDonald’s—Sausage McMuffin with Egg,” remarked Haracz.
This is just the latest insider information from Haracz for McDonald’s fans. The TikToker frequently shares internal details about the fast-food giant and ordering suggestions on his TikTok page. For instance, just last week, he provided viewers with detailed guidelines on preparing frozen fries from Walmart so that they taste almost identical to McDonald’s renowned fries.
