Sausage, Egg and Cheese McGriddle Meal Price in 2026
The sausage, egg and cheese McGriddle meal price is approximately $11.29 as a MacMenus reference. This is a planning figure, not an official national average or mandatory menu price. Franchised and company-operated restaurants can display different pickup prices.
$11.29 reference
Useful for planning and comparing, but the app’s selected-store amount is the final local price.
Meal vs separate items
Add the local sandwich, Hash Browns and small coffee prices from the same restaurant and order method.
McDelivery can cost more
Food prices may be higher and delivery, service, small-order or other fees can apply.
Price-label rule: “$11.29 reference” means an editorial MacMenus planning figure. “Local price” means the selected restaurant must be checked. Only a clearly advertised McDonald’s promotion should be labelled official.
What can change the checkout total?
Factor | What changes | Micro-level check |
|---|---|---|
Restaurant | Sandwich, side and meal base price | Confirm the full address—not only the city |
Order channel | Counter, app pickup and delivery can differ | Compare pickup with pickup |
Coffee build | Cream, sugar, syrup and size | Open the drink customisation before checkout |
Drink substitution | Orange juice, soft drink or McCafé upgrade | Look for a visible upcharge |
Side substitution | Different side or additional Hash Browns | Keep one Hash Brown for a standard-meal test |
Sandwich additions | Extra sausage, egg or cheese | Review each paid modifier separately |
Deal or reward | Account-specific discount or point redemption | Confirm it appears in the bag before payment |
Tax and fees | Local tax and delivery-related charges | Use the final checkout total, not menu subtotal |
What Comes in the Sausage, Egg & Cheese McGriddles Meal?
Sausage, Egg & Cheese McGriddles
Two soft griddle cakes with maple taste, a savory sausage patty, folded egg and American cheese.
550 calories
Hash Browns
A shredded-potato patty prepared crispy outside and fluffy inside.
140 calories
Small Premium Roast Coffee
The official 695-calorie total assumes a small standard coffee without high-calorie additions.
About 5 calories in meal math
Do not confuse the meal with Sausage McGriddles Meal. The Sausage McGriddles sandwich has sausage but no egg or cheese and its official meal total is 575 calories, compared with 695 for Sausage, Egg & Cheese McGriddles Meal.
Sausage Egg and Cheese McGriddle Meal Calories
The official sausage egg and cheese McGriddle meal calories total is 695 calories with the standard sandwich, Hash Browns and small Premium Roast Coffee.
Component | Quantity | Official calories | Running total |
|---|---|---|---|
Sausage, Egg & Cheese McGriddles | 1 sandwich | 550 | 550 |
Hash Browns | 1 side | 140 | 690 |
Small Premium Roast Coffee | 1 drink | Approximately 5 within official meal total | 695 |
The phrase “sausage egg and cheese McGriddle with hash brown calories” normally refers to 690 calories before the small coffee contribution: 550 + 140.
Lower-calorie order logic: sandwich only is 550 calories; sandwich plus Hash Browns is 690; the standard full meal is 695. Coffee cream, sugar, flavour syrup or a different drink can raise the total.
Common calorie mistakes
Using 690 for the meal
That total counts sandwich plus Hash Browns but leaves out the small coffee contribution used on the official meal page.
Adding a sweetened coffee
The 695 total does not cover every possible cream, sugar, syrup or specialty-drink build.
Mixing McGriddles versions
Bacon, Sausage-only and Sausage-Egg-Cheese McGriddles have different sandwich and meal totals.
Using a large drink
A size upgrade can change both calories and price even when the meal name remains similar.
Counting additions incorrectly
Extra cheese, sausage or egg should be added to the standard product total.
Ignoring natural variation
Serving size, preparation, suppliers and regional formulations can create some nutrition variation.
Sausage, Egg and Cheese McGriddle Nutrition
The current official sandwich page confirms 550 calories. For detailed sausage, egg and cheese McGriddle nutrition—including fat, saturated fat, carbohydrate, sugars, sodium and protein—use the live McDonald’s nutrition calculator because formulations and displayed values can change.
Nutrition question | Practical answer | What can change it |
|---|---|---|
Calories | 550 sandwich • 695 standard meal | Drink, additions, removals and substitutions |
Protein | Current third-party listings cluster around 19–20g for the sandwich | Extra sausage, egg or cheese; verify official calculator |
Carbohydrate source | Griddle cakes are the main bread-style component | Removing one cake or selecting another sandwich |
Fat source | Sausage, cheese, egg and cooking ingredients | Removing cheese or sausage; adding meat |
Sodium source | Sausage, cheese, griddle cakes and prepared egg | Ingredient and serving variation |
Sugar source | Sweet maple-tasting griddle cakes and coffee additions | Syrups, sugar and flavoured creamers |
This page does not turn a menu item into medical or diet advice. People tracking sodium, saturated fat, carbohydrates, allergens or other nutrients should use the current official panel and professional guidance where appropriate.
How Much Protein Is in a Sausage Egg and Cheese McGriddle?
The sausage egg and cheese McGriddle protein figure is commonly reported at about 19–20 grams for the standard sandwich. Because current independent listings differ by one gram and the official text page does not expose the macro table in every browser, treat this as a narrow estimate and verify the live McDonald’s nutrition calculator before publishing an exact macro claim elsewhere.
Protein is not the same as “high protein.” Avoid unsupported health marketing. The useful comparison is serving-level grams alongside calories, sodium, saturated fat and the rest of the meal.
What Does “Sausage Egg and Cheese McGriddle Recipe” Mean?
For menu-search intent, the sausage egg and cheese McGriddle recipe usually means the official sandwich build—not a homemade copycat formula. McDonald’s describes it as four main layers:
Two griddle cakes
Soft and warm with the sweet taste of maple. McDonald’s says the cakes have no artificial preservatives or flavours and no colours from artificial sources.
Sausage patty
The main meat layer and a major source of the sandwich’s savory flavour.
Folded egg
Made from liquid eggs, pre-cooked and folded by suppliers, then heated on the restaurant grill with real butter.
American cheese
A melty cheese layer between the hot sausage, folded egg and griddle cakes.
A copycat home recipe can imitate sweet griddle cakes, sausage, folded egg and cheese, but it is not the proprietary restaurant formula and should not be described as official.
McGriddles vs Sausage Egg and Cheese McMuffin Calories
The keyword “sausage egg and cheese McMuffin calories” refers to the official Sausage McMuffin with Egg, which contains 480 calories. It uses an English muffin and freshly cracked round egg rather than maple-tasting griddle cakes and folded egg.
Comparison | Sausage, Egg & Cheese McGriddles | Sausage McMuffin with Egg | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
Sandwich calories | 550 | 480 | McMuffin is 70 lower |
Official meal calories | 695 | 625 | McMuffin meal is 70 lower |
Outer bread | Sweet maple-tasting griddle cakes | Toasted English muffin | Sweet-and-savory vs traditional |
Egg style | Folded egg | Freshly cracked round egg | Different preparation and texture |
Standard filling | Sausage and American cheese | Sausage and American cheese | Similar central fillings |
Best for | Sweet breakfast sandwich taste | Lower-calorie sausage-and-egg option | Preference and local price decide |

What Time Can You Order the McGriddles Meal?
McDonald’s says local breakfast menus and hours are decided by restaurants, Co-Ops and franchisees. Breakfast is often served from opening until approximately 10:30 or 11:00 AM local time, but that is not a universal guarantee.
Before travelling
Check the restaurant locator, app menu and today’s hours for the exact address.
Near the cutoff
Build and submit the order early enough for the restaurant to accept and prepare breakfast.
After the cutoff
The meal may disappear when the restaurant changes to lunch, even if another nearby location serves later.
July 2026 menu context: the limited-time Honey Brown Butter Bacon, Egg & Cheese Biscuit is a separate sweet-and-savory breakfast item. It does not replace or change the Sausage, Egg & Cheese McGriddles Meal.
How to Check the Exact Local Meal Price
Search by ZIP code, city, address or device location.
Confirm the complete address because nearby stores can display different prices and hours.
This creates the cleanest comparison with the $11.29 MacMenus reference.
Do not select the Sausage McGriddles Meal by mistake.
Confirm the sandwich name includes sausage, egg and cheese.
Verify one Hash Brown and small Premium Roast Coffee before substitutions.
Check extra meat, cheese, coffee customisations and account-specific discounts.
Review tax, fees, restaurant address and breakfast availability before payment.

Can You Get This McGriddles with Rewards?
The current MyMcDonald’s Rewards page lists Sausage, Egg & Cheese McGriddles in the 7,000-point reward tier. Members earn 100 points per eligible $1 spent and can begin redeeming at 1,500 points.
A reward normally covers the eligible sandwich, not automatically the complete meal with Hash Browns and coffee. Review the redemption tile and bag before assuming all meal components are free.
Ingredients, Allergens and Dietary Warnings
The sandwich combines griddle cakes, folded egg, sausage and American cheese. The most relevant major-allergen checks include egg, milk/dairy, wheat and soy, plus any current sesame or cross-contact statement shown in the official ingredient panel.
Component | Main checks | Why a removal may not be enough |
|---|---|---|
Griddle cakes | Wheat, milk-derived ingredients and soy statements | Other sandwich components and shared preparation remain |
Folded egg | Egg and butter/dairy preparation | Cheese and cakes still require review |
Sausage patty | Current formulation and shared grill | Cross-contact can occur during normal kitchen operations |
American cheese | Milk and soy | Removing cheese does not remove egg or wheat |
Hash Browns | Current ingredients and fryer preparation | Side preparation is separate from sandwich removal |
Coffee additions | Milk, flavoured creamer or syrup ingredients | Black coffee and customised coffee have different profiles |
McDonald’s USA does not promote U.S. menu items as vegetarian, vegan or gluten-free and does not certify them as Halal or Kosher. Shared equipment and preparation areas can create allergen cross-contact.
