Here\u2019s how it breaks down, especially for the *Sausage, Egg & Cheese McGriddle*:\n\n---\n\n## \ud83c\udf73 Egg Types at McDonald's\n\n| Egg Type | Appearance | Preparation | Common Sandwiches |\n|---------|-------------|----------------|---------------------|\n| **Folded Egg** | Square or omelet-style yellow patty | Made from liquid eggs (mixed with additives like starch, salt, and citric acid), cooked in large batches, folded, frozen; then steamed or heated in-store before serving. ([flavor365.com](https://flavor365.com/a-deep-dive-into-the-mcdonald-s-mcgriddle-sausage-patty/?utm_source=openai)) | McGriddles, biscuit sandwiches, many \u201call-day\u201d breakfast items outside the Egg McMuffin family. The *Sausage, Egg & Cheese McGriddle* standardly comes with a folded egg. ([eathealthy365.com](https://eathealthy365.com/the-mcgriddle-unwrapped-a-full-ingredient-breakdown/?utm_source=openai)) |\n| **Round Egg** | Circular, whole egg cooked fresh (with a yolk) | A Grade A egg is cracked fresh into a round mold (ring) on the grill and cooked in-shop; not pre-formed or frozen. ([mcdonalds.com](https://www.mcdonalds.com/ie/en-ie/product/sausage-and-egg-mcgriddles.html?utm_source=openai)) | Egg McMuffin and its variants. In some locations (or by request), McGriddles may be made with round eggs instead of folded. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McGriddles?utm_source=openai)) |\n\n---\n\n## \u2714\ufe0f What\u2019s on the Sausage, Egg & Cheese McGriddle\n\nThe typical McGriddle in the U.S., including the *Sausage, Egg & Cheese McGriddle*, uses a **folded egg** by default. ([mcdonalds.com](https://www.mcdonalds.com/us/en-us/product/sausage-egg-cheese-mcgriddles.html?utm_source=openai))\n\nHowever, there are exceptions:\n\n- In certain international markets, McGriddles may use a **round egg**. For example, in Ireland, a *Sausage & Egg McGriddle* was sold with a round egg. ([mcdonalds.com](https://www.mcdonalds.com/ie/en-ie/product/sausage-and-egg-mcgriddles.html?utm_source=openai))  \n- Some U.S. locations allow a \u201cround egg\u201d substitute if you request it. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/McDonalds/comments/1qd4tpz/mcgriddle_round_egg/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\nIf you want a *round egg* on your McGriddle instead of the folded one, it can\u2019t hurt to ask\u2014some restaurants accommodate the request."
