Enjoy the classic taste of a Sausage McMuffin at home by properly storing any leftovers. This iconic breakfast sandwich, featuring a savory sausage patty, a fluffy egg, and melted cheese on a toasted English muffin, can be kept fresh for a short period when refrigerated.
Storage Time
Consume within 1-2 days for optimal freshness and food safety when refrigerated.
Temperature
Store in the refrigerator at or below 4°C (40°F).
Freezing
To freeze a Sausage McMuffin, allow it to cool completely. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, then in aluminum foil or place it in a freezer-safe bag to prevent freezer burn. Frozen Sausage McMuffins can maintain good quality for up to 1-2 months. To reheat, unwrap and microwave on medium power, checking for even heating, or reheat in a toaster oven for a crispier finish. Note that the texture of the egg and muffin may slightly change after freezing and reheating.
Signs of Spoilage
- Unpleasant, sour, or rancid smell emanating from the sausage or egg.
- Slimy or sticky texture on the sausage patty, egg, or muffin.
- Visible mold growth, especially on the English muffin or cheese.
