THE BEST MCDONALDS BREAKFAST SAUCE
Everyone knows Mcdonald's sauces are to die for.
I mean, they're half the reason to go to Mcdonald's! But I think their breakfast sauce is the most unique and delicious by far.
Unfortunately, Mcdonald's doesn't offer their breakfast sauce anymore. So this recipe is really clutch if you want to bring back that delicious sauce!
This Mcdonald's breakfast sauce recipe tastes just like the real thing they used to serve. It's creamy, tangy, and savory with the most delicious flavor.
It's actually super quick and easy to make with only 6 ingredients! And I think that it's even better made at home.
Plus, this Mcdonald's breakfast sauce is versatile and can be used on all kinds of food. My favorite use for it is on some of our copycat McDonald's breakfast recipes - the McGriddle, breakfast burrito, and egg McMuffin. It even goes great on these McDonalds snack wraps!
In addition to breakfast, it can be perfect as a dipping sauce for some fried jalapenos or fried pickles. But my favorite is to dip these McDonald's chicken nuggets in it - it's the best dipping sauce for the McNuggets, trust me.
This McDonald's breakfast sauce would even be great as a simple salad dressing on this spicy southwest salad!
I personally always have this sauce on hand because it's so versatile and simple, yet so yummy.

Ingredients
My favorite part about this recipe is that it requires only 6 simple ingredients. And you probably have most, if not all, of these ingredients in your fridge waiting for you!
Here's everything you need to make this awesome McDonalds breakfast sauce:
- 1⁄2 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp. yellow mustard
- 1 tsp. Lemon juice
- 1 tsp. Steak sauce
- 1 tsp. Dried dill weed
- Salt and ground black pepper (to taste)
These ingredients are easily accessible and easily customizable, and it will take no time to make this sauce for all your breakfast needs.
Feel free to adjust the ingredients to suit your preferences, and you can even add a dash of hot sauce if you want a spicy flavor.
My favorite way to switch up this sauce recipe is to use dijon mustard instead of yellow mustard.
By the way, if you want to give another Mcdonald's sauce recipe a try, you have to make this tartar sauce, this sweet and sour sauce, or this Szechuan sauce recipe a shot next.
How to Make the McDonalds Breakfast Sauce
With just a bowl, a couple of measuring utensils, and something to mix up the sauce, you can have this Mcdonald's breakfast sauce recipe made in minutes.
So, let's not waste any more time and get right to it
Step 1: Make the Sauce
First, add the mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, steak sauce, and dill to a medium-sized bowl.
Then, mix all of the ingredients with a fork or whisk until well combined.
And to bring out the flavor, mix in as much salt and pepper as you want.

Step 2: Refrigerating
Now, after the sauce is mixed, transfer it to an airtight container or glass jar.
Then, put it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours before using it. You'll want to refrigerate the sauce right after making it - this will give the flavors time to develop and meld together.
So, after the 4 hours is up, you can use the Mcdonald's breakfast sauce for whatever you want.
Enjoy!

How to Store McDonalds Breakfast Sauce
This McDonald's breakfast sauce recipe will make about 1 cup. So you should have plenty to use throughout the week. But if you think you'll use more, just double, triple, or quadruple the recipe!
The sauce is best stored in an airtight container or resealable jar in the fridge, where it will last for up to 2 weeks.
And if you ever need more, you can just whip it up in a couple of minutes. I like to make it the night before I know I'll be using it, so it's ready to go by morning.

Really appreciate this recipe! My favorite go-to sauce for breakfast bagels. Definitely a money saver for I personally am not a big fan of dill, so I used parsley in mine. As well as half a teaspoon of olive oil.

Beth Davis
I don’t remember this sauce or what it was used with, but we tried it anyway because it sounded so tasty. We don’t use steak sauce, so I didn’t have any on hand. But I used Worcestershire sauce instead, and the suggested Dijon in place of yellow mustard. We thought it was awesome! Thanks for sharing.
Brendan Cunningham
Great substitutions! We're so glad you liked the sauce!!
