# All About the Different Types of Eggs at McDonald's - A Guide from Former Corporate Chef Mike Haracz
Key Highlights :
If you’re a fan of McDonald’s breakfast menu, you’re probably familiar with the different types of eggs that they offer. But did you know that there are actually four different kinds of eggs available? Former McDonald’s corporate chef Mike Haracz has all the details on the different types of eggs that you can find at McDonald’s.
The four types of eggs that are available at McDonald’s are round, folded, scrambled, and sausage burrito eggs. Round eggs are the highest quality eggs available at McDonald’s, according to Haracz. These are factory-fresh eggs that are cracked and cooked to order in a round ring mold. The other fresh(ish) option is the scrambled egg, which is made with real butter. The eggs that come in the breakfast burrito are pre-cooked liquid eggs with sausage, tomatoes, green chilies, onions, and seasonings. The least desirable option is the folded egg, which is frozen and heated up for the biscuit and bagel sandwiches.
One type of egg that is no longer available at McDonald’s is the egg white McMuffin. This was discontinued in 2018 and phased out completely by 2020. While it’s still technically possible to get egg whites, it’s not as simple as just swapping out the scrambled eggs. When a customer requests egg whites, the cook has to separate the white from the yolk and cook it in an egg ring to order. This takes extra time and effort, so it’s best to only request egg whites when the kitchen isn’t busy.
If you’re looking to switch up your breakfast order, you can always ask for a round egg instead of a folded one. This is a simple substitution that won’t take too much time or effort. However, customizing breakfast burritos is usually not possible since they are made in large batches at the beginning of the day.
No matter what type of egg you’re ordering, it’s always important to be polite and respectful when making special requests. If the kitchen can’t accommodate your request, they may be able to suggest another option that you’ll love. Thanks to former corporate chef Mike Haracz, you now know all about the different types of eggs that are available at McDonald’s. So the next time you’re looking for a breakfast order, you can make an informed decision about which type of egg is right for you.
