McDonald’s celebrates the 40^th anniversary of one of its most iconic menu items, the Egg McMuffin, by introducing a brand new option for fans: the Egg White Delight McMuffin, according to a McDonald's news release. The new breakfast sandwich is the company’s first menu item featuring egg whites.

Available throughout metro Atlanta as part of a  McDonald’s national menu test, the new Egg White Delight McMuffin will be offered for $1 Monday, Nov. 12 – Friday, Nov. 16 during breakfast hours at participating McDonald’s restaurants, including Suwanee. The new Egg White Delight McMuffin will also be tested in Austin, TX starting this week.

The flavorful sandwich is freshly prepared with 100 percent egg whites, freshly cooked on the grill with melted white cheddar*, extra lean Canadian bacon and served on a toasted English muffin, made with 8 grams of whole grain.

“Breakfast at McDonald’s is an established and loved fan favorite for our guests,” said Vickie Chancellor, president of the Greater Atlanta McDonald’s Operator’s Association.  “We’re excited to bring this new, great tasting breakfast choice to Suwanee breakfast enthusiasts and to provide our customers more reasons to love breakfast at McDonald’s.”

Full of flavor and 260 calories, the satisfying new  breakfast sandwich also serves as an excellent source of protein.

“We applaud McDonald’s for not only proactively educating the public about its menu, but also taking steps to introduce new options like the Egg White Delight McMuffin,” said Andrea Riggs, author, wellness guru and celebrity trainer. “The prevalence of wholesome items on McDonald’s menu makes it easier for people to eat wholesome food even when they are on-the-go.”

As part of the market-wide rollout beginning this week, McDonald’s fans in metro Atlanta and Austin can  demonstrate their “egg-citement” for the new menu item by testing their Egg McMuffin knowledge at
