When is National Egg McMuffin Day?

National Egg McMuffin Day falls on Monday, March 2. The occasion celebrates the long-running breakfast sandwich that first appeared on McDonald’s menu in 1971, as per a report by USA Today.

Over the years, the Egg McMuffin has become one of the company’s signature morning items. Its simple combination of ingredients helped make it a popular choice for customers looking for a quick breakfast.

The sandwich includes an egg, Canadian bacon, American cheese, butter and a toasted English muffin.

How can you get the $1 Egg McMuffin deal?

For the entire day, customers can purchase a $1 Egg McMuffin or a $1 Sausage McMuffin with Egg. The offer is available exclusively through the McDonald’s mobile app, as per a report by USA Today.

The $1 price applies to both the traditional Egg McMuffin and the Sausage McMuffin with Egg, but the discount is only available when the order is placed digitally through the app on March 2.

The Sausage McMuffin with Egg follows a similar recipe to the classic sandwich, though it swaps Canadian bacon for sausage, as per a report by USA Today.
