McDonald&#8217;s has just rolled out a new breakfast lineup across Canada, and it&#8217;s inspired by the brunch favourite, eggs Benny.
The sandwich, available on an English muffin or your choice of bagel, comes with egg, hickory-smoked bacon, cheese, and a velvety smooth hollandaise-style sauce.
Additionally, joining its lineup of <a href="https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/mcdonalds-breakfast-wraps" target="_blank">breakfast wraps</a> is the Benny-Style Bacon &#8216;N Egg Wrap. Here you&#8217;ll find egg, a crispy hash brown, cheese, creamy hollandaise-style sauce, lettuce, and tomato all wrapped up in a flour tortilla.
But eggs Benny-inspired breakfast isn&#8217;t necessarily a new menu item from McDonald&#8217;s per se, as the <a href="https://corporate.mcdonalds.com/corpmcd/our-stories/article/egg-mcmuffin-history.html" target="_blank">origins of the Egg McMuffin</a> actually come from the Eggs Benedict.

According to McDonald&#8217;s, in early 1971, owner and operator Herb Peterson in Santa Barbara, California, believed that McDonald&#8217;s needed a unique product to ensure a top-performing breakfast menu.
&#8220;At first, Herb makes a version of Eggs Benedict, but determines packaged Hollandaise sauce doesn’t do the trick. He replaces the Hollandaise sauce with a slice of cheese, adds a slice of Canadian bacon, and the Egg McMuffin is born (but it’s not yet called an Egg McMuffin),&#8221; wrote McDonald&#8217;s.
Additionally, Peterson is attributed with developing the Teflon rings that give the McMuffin&#8217;s eggs their round shape.
