The Bacon, Egg & Cheese McGriddles® Meal is the lighter alternative to the Sausage, Egg & Cheese McGriddles — swapping the heavy sausage patty for Thick-Cut Applewood Smoked Bacon. For $9.29, you get the signature sweet-and-savory sandwich, a side of Hash Browns, and a small McCafé® Premium Roast Coffee brewed from 100% Arabica beans. At 575 calories, it’s 120 calories lighter than the sausage version (695 Cal) while delivering the same maple-flavored griddle cake experience.
The McGriddles lineup was introduced by McDonald’s Corporation (NYSE: MCD) in 2003 as a category-defining breakfast innovation. The griddle cakes feature maple-flavored syrup crystallized into the batter — delivering built-in sweetness without the mess of a separate syrup packet. Combined with smoky Applewood bacon, a folded egg, and American cheese, it creates a unique sweet-savory profile that no other QSR chain replicates. It’s a permanent menu item available at all 13,400+ U.S. locations.
