The Tale of Egg, Sausage and Cheese Breakfast Sandwich
Story updated
The breakfast sandwich as a fast-food category owes much to McDonald's Egg McMuffin, created in 1972 by franchisee Herb Peterson, who wanted to bring the flavors of eggs Benedict to a handheld, on-the-go format. It sparked a wave of imitators across the fast-food industry.
