I was trying to save some time the other morning, so I went to indulge in one of my favorite meals, McDonald's breakfast.Admittedly, it’s been a very long time since I had swung through that drive-through line, so I was pretty excited. Until I got my total. The balls to charge people over $6 for a breakfast sandwich… not to mention it was wildly mediocre.
So I took a step back and figured out a better way to do it. That same McGriddle taste but for a fraction of the cost. Also made in bulk so we can save time and energy prepping for the next week or so.
We do it all in the oven for minimal cleanup and maximum efficiency. This recipe makes 12 McGriddles in total for under $20. If you ordered the same thing at McDonald's, that would run you over $60…
Breakfast sandwiches are not gourmet enough to charge that much. They should be like 2 bucks max. So we are making breakfast sandwiches the right way for the right price.
And my goodness, they taste amazing.
