McDonald’s is adding a cozy twist to its breakfast lineup with the introduction of two new biscuit sandwiches featuring a rich, comforting flavor. Starting July 21, the fast-food giant will launch the Honey Brown Butter Bacon, Egg & Cheese Biscuit and the Honey Brown Butter Chicken Biscuit nationwide.
Lucky early birds don’t have to wait until the official release date-some McDonald’s locations have already made these sandwiches available through their app. The bacon, egg, and cheese option includes folded egg, two half-strips of bacon, and American cheese nestled inside a fluffy biscuit. Meanwhile, the chicken version replaces the bacon with a crispy, golden chicken patty.
What sets these new menu items apart is the signature honey brown butter sauce drizzled over each biscuit, adding a warm, nutty sweetness that elevates the familiar flavors. Fans will be pleased to know that this sauce isn’t exclusive to the new sandwiches; customers can add it to any breakfast item, making even classic orders feel a bit more indulgent.
This launch taps into the growing popularity of brown butter flavors, a trend also seen in recent product releases like Pillsbury’s brown butter chocolate chip cookie dough and McCormick’s Brown Butter Finishing Salt. Unlike the hot honey trend that has dominated fast-food menus in recent years, McDonald’s new sauce focuses on warmth and comfort, pairing honey’s natural sweetness with the rich nuttiness of brown butter-perfectly suited for buttery biscuits.
The Honey Brown Butter Biscuits are priced around $5.19 on the McDonald’s app, though availability and pricing may vary by location. While the official nationwide rollout is slated for July 21, some customers can already order these new sandwiches via the app at select restaurants.
