There's one low-profile item that has a cult following: McDonald's breakfast sauce. Although not universally available, you can order it at some locations or recreate it at home.
The sauce is a creamy blend made with oil, vinegar, egg, lemon juice concentrate, a few dehydrated powders and natural smoke flavoring.
As of November 2023, Reddit users reported availability of bagel sandwiches with breakfast sauce at McDonald's locations in Pennsylvania, western New York, Florida, and Ohio.
Breakfast sauce enthusiasts have attempted to recreate the spread at home to varying degrees of success. Former McDonald's corporate chef Mike Haracz provided advice on TikTok.
He recommends using mayonnaise, lemon juice, cheddar cheese powder, buttermilk powder, a touch of liquid smoke, autolyzed yeast extract, and herbs and spices, including dill.
