McDonald’s Testing New Breakfast Sandwich, Only In Minnesota

MINNESOTA — Residents in the Land of 10,000 Lakes get to be the first to try the latest creation from McDonald's. The restaurant chain's new breakfast sandwich is being tested now at more than 200 McDonald’s locations in Minnesota.

McDonalds said it's listening to customers and continuing to evolve its menu offerings to meet their needs. Customers have told the company they're looking for a bigger and more filling breakfast option.

That led to the "McGriddles French Toast Breakfast Sandwich."

"You get savory and smoky flavors from the sausage and bacon,” said McDonald’s Chef Mike Lingo in a statement.

"Creaminess, cheddar flavors and salt from the American cheese; sweet cinnamon, spice and vanilla flavors from the French toast. It tastes like homemade French toast. It’s everything you love about breakfast in one sandwich."

McDonald’s has been serving breakfast sandwiches since the invention of the Egg McMuffin in 1972. McGriddles were introduced to customers in 2003.

"We’re excited for our Minnesota customers to test our new McGriddles French Toast sandwich and help evolve McDonald’s menu across the country," said Tom Butler, McDonald’s Minnesota Co-Op President and franchise owner from Eagan.

"We look forward to hearing our customers’ response to this deliciously sweet and savory breakfast sandwich."
