How do you prefer your sausage, egg, and cheese biscuits to be stacked? ---

Just like that, sausage, egg, cheese. Of course biscuit on top and bottom. Why? The sausage forms a firm layer for the rest of the stack, egg could just squeeze out the bottom as you eat. Cheese belongs on top because… well just because. ---

Sausage, egg, cheese. If the cheese is next to the meat it turns into a greasy mess. If the cheese melts onto the biscuit or egg, no big deal. ---

I’ve never noticed how McDonald’s stacks them. However they do it is very good. I usually order bacon, egg Cheese biscuit. Google photos show bacon on top of the egg. Cheese is under the egg. ---

I use a breakfast sandwich maker. It works best cheese-sausage-egg. ---

For reasons that are beyond me, they don’t show it on their menu, but it is an extremely common order. To the point that if you ask for a sausage egg biscuit with cheese added, you’ll likely be corrected by the employee saying, “a sausage, egg and cheese biscuit?” Regardless, I agree that the way McDonald’s stacks it works well for me. Easily their best breakfast sandwich. ---

The sausage forms a firm layer for the rest of the stack, egg could just squeeze out the bottom as you eat. Cheese belongs on top because… well just because. Cheese belongs on top because when it melts, the overlap droops down and wraps all the other stuff in cheesy goodness. It’s science. ---

I have a one-holer. The English muffin (biscuits burn before the egg sets) goes in the bottom. Egg goes into the middle, followed by the cheese and the sausage. The other half of the muffin goes on top. I’ll put the sausage in the bottom compartment next time. ---
