I’ve always been a McDonalds breakfast man. To me, the McMuffin is the king of fast food breakfast options. There’s just something about it. That being said, every now and then I do get the urge to switch it up a little and grab myself a Croissan’Wich from Burger King. It’s an extremely close second. The only problem is the egg on the Croissan’Wich sucks. Rather than a griddle fried egg, which comes on the McMuffin, the Croissan’Wich features some sort of omlette style egg which seems more like an egg substitute than an actual egg. This got me thinking. Is the griddle fried egg responsible for deliciousness that is the McMuffin? What if the Croissan’Wich had a better egg option? I decided to figure this out for myself.
This was pretty simple. I just took the nasty egg off of the Crossian’Wich and replaced it with the egg from the McMuffin. The results were surprising. Let me tell you, if Burger King used a griddle fried egg I wouldn’t even bother going to McDonalds for breakfast. The Croissant is much tastier than the English muffin that McDonalds uses, and the sausage is usually pretty similar, if not better. The egg added so much that was missing to the Crossian’Wich. It even looks good upside down. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the first McCroissan’Wich. I can’t really verify that claim because I didn’t research it, so you’re just going to have to take my word for it.
Just to fully test my egg theory, I replaced the delicious egg on the McMuffin with the nasty egg from the Crossian’Wich. To be blunt, it was disgusting. You could really taste how bland the English muffin is and the sausage really didn’t make up for the lost flavor. Burger King’s egg lacks so much flavor that it completely affects the taste of the McMuffin. I took two bites and decided to throw it away.
In summary, Burger King needs a griddle fried egg. Their breakfast may be greasy and sometimes bland, but the addition of a good egg would cause me to switch to their breakfast options.
Damn, that McMuffin was nasty.

I completely agree. It is the egg that makes the sandwich. I have a friend who is pretty much in love with the Eggless Sausage McMuffin on the new Dollar Menu at McD’s but I can’t stand them without the egg. It is trans-formative somehow. Probably clown magic.
Eggless Sausage McMuffin? I don’t know if I could eat that.
I am of the mind that the Egg McMuffin is the perfect fast food item. Also the McDonald’s hash brown, which is INSANELY awesome. There are few things that I will eat from McDonald’s, but these are both brilliant.
btw, I would never, ever go to Burger King for breakfast, gah! Those “eggs” look frightening.
Sadly they will probably never change the eggs, if I’m not mistaken I don’t think they have grills at all since they have the conveyor belt broiler. Those eggs look more microwaved from frozen than fresh. Just nasty!
Agree 100%. BK eggs have to go. Their biscuit is pretty bad as well.
@Wendy – Agreed. The McDonalds hash brown is fantastic. I’m going to put one on my next McMuffin. Genius.
@Nick – I didn’t even think about them not having a grill. I wonder what a flame broiled egg would taste like. Hmmm…..
Has anyone else tried BK’s version of the McMuffin? I could barely stomach two bites, the english muffin was so nasty. Too hard on the outside combined with the bad egg and excessive grease. Never again.
