EGG MCMUFFIN
The McMuffin is a popular breakfast sandwich, but the fast food version is packed with undesirable ingredients and unnecessary calories. So, we made a 4Q variety with nutrient-dense, wholesome ingredients to give you an alternative that tastes just as delicious!

You can also opt for half an English muffin and eat it open-faced if you want to reduce your starch portion.
