Who here loves their McDonald’s breakfast? But let me ask you something: Do you prefer the folded or the round egg in your sandwich ?
Well, as it turns out, there’s quite a difference in how each egg is actually made in-house. I bet you didn’t know that, huh? So let’s find out more about it. Shall we? Let’s go.
I honestly don’t know which egg from McDonald’s I prefer.

I’ve enjoyed both the round egg and the folded one, and they both tasted like — well, McDonald’s, hee-hee. So I was really curious to see this video on TikTok.
In the video, a McDonald’s employee shows how he cooks each of the eggs in question.

And I have to admit I was surprised when I saw it. So let’s go over it. First things first, let’s look at the folded egg, okay?
Here’s the shocker I bet you didn’t expect.

The folded egg comes pre-cooked. Come again? Yes, that’s right. It comes in a package that the employee throws on the grill to be cooked. Oh, no! That doesn’t sound right.
Now on to the round egg.
I have some good news for you. The rounded egg is actually a raw egg that gets cracked into a mold and cooked on the grill. So as you have guessed, it gets cooked fresh every day. Oh, yay!
That’s amazing, right?

I’m happy to see something at McDonald’s is actually cooked fresh, ha, ha. And as it turns out, other people were glad to find that out too. So I’m glad they too discovered it when I did. You learn something every day. Don’t you?
Let’s just say that most people were pretty shocked they didn’t know the difference.

And now that they know, they’ll never look back and always opt for the round egg. I have to admit I’m with them on that one.
Nothing beats freshly cooked food if you asked me.

However, I was surprised that knowing this — some people still prefer the folded egg. I guess it’s true what they say “old habits die hard,” hee-hee. Well, if you like that, then stick with it.
I found this comment to be the funniest one.

True dat! I’ve had plenty of Starbucks breakfast egg sandwiches, and I never complained about the freshness, haha. So there goes that. I guess now their cover is blown, too. What are you going to do? I’ll still eat it.
Did you know this about McDonald’s eggs?
Or did you live in oblivion just like the rest of us, hehe? I have to admit I did find the texture of the folded ones suspicious. So now it all makes total sense. I’ll have to ensure I always ask for the round egg, that’s for sure.
