Fast food fans suffer: chains such as Burger King or McDonald's are closed due to the coronavirus pandemic. But with the following recipe a classic succeeds at home.

It is not for everyone: the fast food breakfast. Chains like McDonalds, however, have a large breakfast range from special scrambled eggs * or croissant variations, coffee to various breakfast rolls, which customers know as McMuffins.
However, fast food chains are currently closed due to the coronavirus outbreak - which has prompted McDonald's to take a surprising step.
The large chain published the recipe with which the McMuffin sausage and egg is prepared.

So it should also be possible in the current exceptional situation to feel like at a McDonald's branch at the kitchen table at home. Which will particularly benefit those who like the food there but less like the atmosphere. It should be easy to make the original McMuffin at home - you only need five ingredients.

McDonald's publishes original McMuffin recipe

Many had already tried their own creations , which they published on social platforms like Twitter:

In terms of taste, however, there were big differences from the "real" McMuffin - until McDonald's responded by publishing the original recipe for the McMuffin sausage and egg *. If you think about expensive ingredients and a particularly complicated preparation, you can be reassured, according to the portal insider: The McMuffin recipe is very easy to copy .

Make McMuffin yourself - with the following recipe

You need the following ingredients for the homemade McMuffin:

an English muffin
75 g sausage meat
any number of eggs
a slice of cheese
a potato

Here's how to do it :

Toast the English muffin first until golden brown. Then season the sausage meat with a pinch of salt and pepper and form it into flat balls. Cook or grill the balls as indicated on the packaging - usually six to seven minutes on each side. Then put an oiled egg ring in a small frying pan, pour just enough water to cover the bottom and bring it to a boil. Then whip the eggs in the ring, cover the pan and let the eggs cook for two to three minutes. Finally, place the sausages, the egg and the cheese slice between the muffin slices.

If you want to try a delicious rösti , grate a potato in a bowl, mix in an egg and season everything with salt and pepper. Then heat a little oil in a pan and pour the mixture into it. Press flat, fry on both sides until golden brown and there is the Rösti, which also looks good in McMuffin .
