Tired of the same ol’ breakfast you get from fast food chains? This might be your lucky day, because we’ve got 12 fast food breakfast hacks that will seriously level up your A.M. game. From clever upgrades to mouthwatering flavor combos, these hacks are crave-worthy and totally game-changers.
12. Add a Hash Brown to Your Cheeseburger
Adding a hash brown to your McDonald’s cheeseburger is like having the best of breakfast and lunch worlds. The only problem is the chain doesn’t sell breakfast items all throughout the day. So the trick is to stop by around 10:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., when menus are being swapped. If you’re lucky enough, you can also ask for an egg or bacon to be added to your burgers.
11. Spice Up Your Wendy’s Breakfast Biscuit
Want to spice up your morning? That’s so easy to do if you choose Wendy’s as your next fast food breakfast place. Just order the classic Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Biscuit, and then request a packet of hot sauce. Combine the two and enjoy that punch of flavor! This could be an alternative to the limited-time Hot Honey Chicken Biscuit offered back in 2022, minus the subtle sweetness.
10. Load Up Your Burrito with French Toast Sticks
If you love French toast sticks for breakfast, there’s another way to enjoy them at Burger King. Fair warning: this hack is a bit odd but stay with us. Load a couple of French toast sticks into your breakfast burrito or sandwich. You’ll find that the maple and cinnamon flavors pair so well with the savory items in your choice of breakfast item. The extra crunch is also a welcome addition!
9. Order Your Hash Browns Unsalted
Requesting for unsalted fries is a well-known tactic to ensure that McDonald’s will give you a fresh and hot batch. And guess what? You can use the same tactic when ordering hash browns! Ask for them without salt and this will usually mean that a new batch will be made for you. You can add salt to your liking or don’t, because hash browns are already made with natural beef flavor.
8. Add Potato to Everything
Taco Bell fans from this Reddit thread swear by adding potatoes to everything, especially breakfast items if you want them to be extra filling. If you’re getting the Cheesy Toasted Breakfast Burrito Potato, adding bacon or steak would make it perfect. You can also have your burrito grilled to guarantee a warm meal. It tastes better that way, anyway!
7. Create Your Own McDonald’s Breakfast Tacos
This hack will give you something like a chicken and waffles meal but with pancakes. To start, order a McDonald’s Big Breakfast with Hotcakes meal, which includes pancakes, sausage, hash brown, eggs, and a biscuit. Fold the pancakes like a taco shell and load it up with the rest of the items from the Big Breakfast meal. Don’t forget to add maple syrup on top for that irresistible sweet-savory flavor.
6. Use French Toast Sticks as Your Sandwich Base
There’s a popular Wendy’s hack that can take your Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit to the next level. To recreate this hack, order the mentioned biscuit plus French Toast sticks. The magic happens when you replace the biscuit with French Toast sticks, so they now serve as the base for your sandwich. Drizzle the syrup on top and devour!
5. Upgrade Bojangles’ Cajun Filet Biscuit
Bojangles’ Cajun Filet Biscuit is already good on its own, but if you want to give its flavor more depth, this hack is for you. Order the Cajun Filet Biscuit and add cheese and extra hot sauce. Pair it with fries, sweet tea, and two packs of honey mustard for dipping the fries and biscuit into. Redditors claim that this combo has been proven to cure a hangover.
4. Try the Spicy Biscuit & Strawberry Jam Combo
Since we’re already talking spicy, why not try this hack that will upgrade your Chick-fil-A’s spicy chicken biscuit? All you need to do is order the regular spicy chicken biscuit and add strawberry jelly on it. That’s instant sweet-and-spicy bliss! Another way to upgrade your spicy chicken biscuit is to add egg, bacon, pepper jack, and a drizzle of honey.
3. Make Your Own Vegetarian McMuffin
To our vegetarian friends out there, this one’s for you! Head over to your local McDonald’s and order two Sausage McMuffins (without the sausage, of course). So basically, you’ll get two cheese sandwiches. Order a hash brown, split it in half and add each piece to your cheese sandwiches. Enjoy your cheesy potato McMuffin!
2. Try the Glazed Donut and Bacon Sandwich
America runs on Dunkin’, so we expect that you’d stop by here anytime soon. And if you do, try this hack for a major flavor upgrade. Order a Glazed Donut and Snackin’ Bacon. Slice the donut in half (like a bagel) and layer the Snackin’ Bacon inside. Put the top half of the donut back on and devour! This is a must-try if you love the combo of sweet and salty flavors.
1. Add More Protein to Chick-fil-A Breakfast Biscuit
We love a high-protein breakfast because that makes us feel full for longer. Another thing we love? Chick-fil-A! So the next time you want a filling breakfast, we suggest getting the Chicken, Egg, and Cheese Biscuit (remove the biscuit and add an extra egg). The two eggs will serve the base for your sandwich, as demonstrated here. Add a drizzle of honey or grape jelly for extra flavor.
