Lowest calorie pick on this list: the Egg McMuffin at 310 calories. Highest: the Sausage, Egg & Cheese Bagel at 710 calories — worth knowing if you’re tracking intake before noon.

Big Breakfast®	$7.59	760*

McDonald’s Breakfast Combo Meals (Best Value)

When you order a combo meal, you get a sandwich, hash browns, and a small coffee bundled together at a lower price than buying each item separately. In fact, getting them bundled usually costs almost the same as buying just the sandwich and hash browns on their own.

Item	Price	Calories
Egg McMuffin® Meal	$8.19	455
Sausage McMuffin® with Egg Meal	$8.99	625
Sausage Biscuit with Egg Meal	$11.29	675
Bacon, Egg & Cheese Biscuit Meal	$11.29	605
Bacon, Egg & Cheese McGriddles® Meal	$11.29	575
Sausage, Egg & Cheese McGriddles® Meal	$11.29	695
Sausage McGriddles® Meal	$11.29	575
Sausage Burrito Meal	$11.09	455

Money-saving hack: Compare the à la carte price of your sandwich plus a hash brown against the combo price. On several items (like the Egg McMuffin), the meal upcharge is small enough that the coffee is essentially free. On the $11.29 combos, though, you’re paying a bigger premium so check both prices in the app before assuming the combo is the better deal.

Breakfast Sides & Extras

Item	Price	Calories
Hash Browns	$2.69	140
Fruit & Maple Oatmeal	$1.99	320

What Time Does McDonald’s Start Serving Breakfast?

Most locations start breakfast around 5:00 AM (or at opening) and cut it off at 10:30 AM on weekdays. Some locations push that to 11:00 AM on weekends, but this isn’t universal it depends entirely on the franchise owner.

The drive-thru usually keeps serving breakfast right up to the cutoff, but the kitchen typically starts prepping lunch items a few minutes before the official switch, so cutting it close can mean a limited menu even before the clock hits 10:30.

Pro tip: open the McDonald’s app, tap your home store, and look at Breakfast Hours under the store details this reflects the actual hours for that specific location, not a national average.

McDonald’s Breakfast Menu Allergens

A quick reference for the most common allergens across popular breakfast items. This is not exhaustive — always confirm with your local store if you or someone you’re ordering for has a severe allergy, since cross-contact can happen in any shared kitchen.

Why fish shows up so often: McDonald’s cooks several items using shared fryers or shared equipment across the kitchen (including equipment also used for the Filet-O-Fish), which is why fish and soy allergens appear on items that don’t obviously contain either this is a cross-contact listing, not necessarily an ingredient in the recipe itself. If you have a fish allergy, ask your local store directly about their specific equipment setup rather than relying on this table alone.

Smart Ordering Tips (Get More for Less)

1. Skip the Combo If You Don’t Want Coffee

If you’re not drinking the coffee anyway, ordering the sandwich and hash browns à la carte can save you a dollar or two over the combo — especially on the $11.29 meals, where the markup over à la carte pricing is bigger than it looks.

2. Customize Your Sandwich

No cheese, extra egg whites, sausage swapped for bacon — most locations don’t charge extra for simple swaps like these. It’s worth asking even if it’s not listed as an option on the kiosk.

3. Check the App for Deals

The McDonald’s app regularly runs mobile-exclusive breakfast offers — buy-one-get-one sandwiches, discounted hash browns, or bundled McCafé + sandwich pricing. These deals don’t show up at the counter, only in-app.

4. Order Ahead During Rush Hour

Mobile Order & Pay lets you skip the line entirely, which matters most between 7:00–9:00 AM and again right before the 10:30 cutoff, when locations get slammed and the kitchen is juggling both breakfast and lunch prep.

5. Watch the Clock Near Cutoff

Most kitchens start prepping lunch items 5–10 minutes before the official breakfast cutoff, which means the full breakfast menu may already be shrinking even if the clock hasn’t technically hit 10:30 yet. If you want a specific item, order it earlier rather than cutting it close.

How Does McDonald’s Breakfast Compare to the Full Menu?

Breakfast is only served during set morning hours typically until 10:30 AM on weekdays and 11:00 AM on weekends. Once that window closes, the kitchen switches over to the full lunch and dinner menu: burgers, Chicken McNuggets, McCrispy sandwiches, fries, and the rest of the all-day lineup.

If you’re planning a visit outside breakfast hours, it’s worth checking the full McDonald’s menu with prices for current burger, chicken, and value-meal options so you’re not caught off guard at the counter.

Key difference: you can’t mix breakfast and lunch items in one order once the cutoff hits if you’re craving both an Egg McMuffin and a Big Mac, you’ll need to time your visit before 10:30 AM, since McDonald’s does not currently offer all-day breakfast at most U.S. locations.

The Sausage Burrito runs $4.19 on its own, or $11.09 as part of the combo meal with hash browns and a drink.

Yes breakfast items appear on the broader McValue menu, including the “Buy One, Add One for $1” promotion that regularly rotates in items like the Sausage Biscuit, Sausage McMuffin, and Hash Browns.

Yes, through the McDonald’s app or third-party platforms like Uber Eats, DoorDash, and Grubhub — as long as your order is placed within breakfast hours for that location. Ordering through the McDonald’s app also earns MyMcDonald’s Rewards points on the order.

For lower calories and fat, the Egg McMuffin (310 cal, 13g fat) and Fruit & Maple Oatmeal (320 cal, 4.5g fat) are the two strongest picks, both also coming in lower in sodium than the biscuit-based sandwiches.

The Egg McMuffin Meal offers the smallest gap between à la carte and combo pricing, making it one of the better values if you actually want the coffee that comes with it.

Hash Browns are listed as “may contain” wheat/gluten due to shared fryer equipment, so they are not confirmed gluten-free. If gluten is a strict dietary requirement, check with your local store about their specific fryer setup before ordering.

Yes swaps like no cheese, extra egg, or sausage instead of bacon are usually free. More complex modifications may not be available at every location, so it’s worth asking before you order.

Conclusion

McDonald’s breakfast menu covers a lot of ground from a quick $2.49 Sausage Biscuit to the $8.29 Big Breakfast with Hotcakes for when you actually want to sit down and eat. Knowing the price, calorie count, and allergen profile of what you’re ordering means fewer surprises at the counter and a better shot at getting real value out of your visit.

Before you head out: check your local store’s exact breakfast hours in the app, look at the Deals tab for anything currently running, and don’t hesitate to customize your order most swaps are free, and a few minutes of planning can save you both money and calories.
