THIRD PLACE: The sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit was the stronger option.
Savanna Swain-Wilson
Of the two biscuit-and-egg sandwiches, the sausage one was the stronger option.
Unlike the bacon, which awkwardly stuck out of the sides, the sausage actually fit on the sandwich. Plus the meat’s bold, savory taste was a better match for the dense, bready biscuit, bringing out the rich, buttery flavors.
The egg was once again a forgettable, flavorless addition, but the union of flavors between the sausage, melted cheese, and buttermilk biscuit was pleasant enough to make me overlook it.
The cheese and pork both added a much-needed element of moisture and creaminess that was lacking in the other biscuit sandwiches. Since the bun was dense, it soaked up all of the oiliness pretty well.
I wish McDonald’s would have opted for cheddar cheese instead of American, but I’ll still take it.
I’m not sure it’s worth buying, especially when the sausage, egg, and cheese McMuffin tasted much fresher, but if you’re a fan of biscuits, this is a decent option.
