McDonald’s is once again grabbing the headlines, this time for Breakfast fans all over the United States. In an announcement to celebrate the 50th anniversary of their iconic Egg McMuffin, the fast-food giant is set to add three new Spicy McMuffins to further enhance their breakfast menu!
What’s New on the Menu?
Starting July 8, McDonald’s fans can enjoy these new limited-time breakfast sandwiches:
- Spicy Egg McMuffin
- Spicy Sausage McMuffin
- Spicy Sausage McMuffin with Egg
These sandwiches feature the same classic flavors you love, now with a bold twist of McDonald’s signature Spicy Pepper Sauce — the same fiery kick used in their famous Spicy McCrispy sandwich.
Why the Change Now?
The move seems to a clever way for McDonald’s to adapt to Gen Z’s spicy food craze. A recent study showed that 78% of Gen Z prefer spicy flavors while 66% are more inclined to purchase a product if it is branded “spicy”. Even the conventional breakfast lovers seem to want bolder taste in their 2025 menu.
While this isn’t the first time McDonald’s has put on breakfast spices, this is the first time using its exclusive pepper sauce blend on morning sandwiches and it will be done in all states and branches.
How Long Will It Be Available?
The Spicy McMuffins will be on the menu for a limited time only for the summer. While an official end date hasn’t been confirmed yet, it’s best to grab one before McDonald’s switches the fryers back to lunch mode.
