McDonald’s Turns Up the Heat with Three Spicy McMuffin Variants For Breakfast

McDonald’s will add a fiery kick to its breakfast lineup on July 8, 2025, with the launch of three Spicy McMuffin sandwiches available for a limited time at participating restaurants nationwide.

A Fiery Twist on a Breakfast Classic

The new Spicy McMuffins build on the iconic Egg McMuffin formula—fresh-cracked Grade A egg, Canadian bacon, melted American cheese, and a buttered, toasted English muffin—by adding a shot of McDonald’s signature Spicy Pepper Sauce for extra heat.

These spicy offerings coincide with the 50th anniversary of the Egg McMuffin, which debuted nationally in 1975 as McDonald’s first breakfast sandwich. The limited-time rollout honors that legacy by giving fans a bold new way to enjoy the classic morning staple.

Meet the Spicy Lineup

• Spicy Egg McMuffin: The traditional Egg McMuffin plus Spicy Pepper Sauce
• Spicy Sausage McMuffin: Sausage patty and cheese with signature sauce
• Spicy Sausage McMuffin with Egg: Sausage, egg, cheese, and a fiery sauce drizzle

Each variation delivers the same ingredients you know, now with a peppery punch. McDonald’s says the Spicy McMuffins are designed for customers who want “big, bold flavors” to kickstart their morning—perfect for those craving heat alongside their caffeine rush.

All three Spicy McMuffins will be available July 8 onward, but only while supplies last. Fans are advised to set their alarms—these spicy sandwiches won’t stick around forever.
