Starting your day with a hearty breakfast featuring a perfectly cooked egg, gooey melted cheese, and a slice of savory ham snuggled between a warm, buttery muffin is a fantastic way to shake off those Monday blues (or any day that ends with Y, really). Do we need to elaborate further?

The Story Behind National Egg McMuffin Day

Believe it or not, the Egg McMuffin didn’t just appear out of nowhere. When it was introduced in 1972, it revolutionized breakfast as we know it. As recounted in Ray Kroc’s autobiography, Grinding it Out: The making of McDonald’s, the creation of this sandwich began when Herb Peterson and his assistant Donald Greadel approached Kroc with an idea, keeping the details under wraps. While trying to whip up their own version of eggs Benedict, they stumbled upon what would become the first-ever breakfast sandwich. Yes, you read that right! The classic breakfast sandwich that so many adore wouldn’t exist without the innovative spirit of McDonald’s and a serendipitous moment of culinary experimentation.

The Egg McMuffin that Peterson and Greadel presented to Kroc featured an egg strategically cooked in a Teflon mold, with the yolk cracked just so, layered upon a slice of perfectly melted cheese, and topped with a grilled ham slice. This delicious concoction was served open-faced on a toasted and buttered English muffin. The name “Egg McMuffin” was coined by Patty Turner, the wife of a McDonald’s executive, and it stuck!

The introduction of the Egg McMuffin marked a new chapter for fast food, transforming McDonald’s from a simple burger restaurant into a go-to spot for hot, on-the-go breakfast. The very first Egg McMuffin was sold at a McDonald’s in Belleville, New Jersey, the same year it was created. While it took almost three years for the sandwich to be fully embraced within the McDonald’s system, it had already garnered attention from TIME magazine, highlighting how the chain “pays close attention to suggestions from behind the counter.”
