McDonald's Egg White Delight McMuffin is a new option on McDonald's Egg McMuffin and substitutes the egg and American cheese for grilled egg whites and white cheddar processed cheese. The rest of the sandwich is the same: a toasted English muffin with 8g of whole grains and extra lean Canadian bacon (i.e. smoked ham).
My local McDonald's offers these for
$2.89 each.
The English muffin looked like it got a good toasting, but was mostly just soft and chewy. That's pretty standard for fast food though. It tends to vary depending on how long it's been since the bread was toasted.
The egg whites were pretty good. Not fluffy, but soft and a little runny. I didn't miss the yolk much. It's a nice option if you're looking to save a few calories and grams of fat without losing much in taste or quality. I actually like the texture better than McDonald's egg round.
The cheese was super melted and had to distinguish from the egg. It was nice how well it was melted, but disappointing that it added so little flavor.
The Canadian bacon wasn't so good. It was rubbery when I bit into it rather than yielding. The texture is too smooth and the flavor was just okay. I would have just preferred supermarket ham, or even no ham at all.
The overall effect makes McDonald's Egg White Delight just an 'okay' breakfast sandwich. The egg whites were probably the best part of the sandwich, but the Canadian bacon (ham) was sub-par.
