Product description

The standard McGriddles sandwich consists of fried bacon, a scrambled egg flap,^{[clarification needed]} and American cheese between two maple-flavored griddle pancakes embossed with the McDonald's logo.

When McDonald's launched its all-day breakfast menu in October 2015, McGriddles sandwiches were initially excluded from the menu,^[5] but were eventually added in September 2016.^[6]
