By adding an egg, the Big Brekkie, which was first sold in Australia and is now sold in New Zealand, follows a trend in food. Pizzas and burgers often have eggs on them.
McDonald's was really the first. The Big Brekkie is a burger topped with the round egg from an Egg McMuffin. The chain adds bacon, cheese, a hash brown, barbecue sauce, and toasted sesame seed bread.
The Big Brekkie is sold at McDonald's in New Zealand for both breakfast and late-night meals.
It is served in a different way in Australia. The Australian Big Brekkie has two burger patties with bacon in the middle.
The secret menu at McDonald's is easier to make yourself than the one at Starbucks, where baristas can make drinks from the secret menu if they know the recipe.
McDonald's no longer provides breakfast all day, which makes it hard to make a Big Brekkie Burger.
You can only end up making a hidden item on the menu with breakfast and meal items at one time of day, and you may have to place two orders.
You have to eat the breakfast half of the Big Brekkie Burger right before the restaurant changes over to lunch.
For the sandwich to be made in the most premium way, you need to order:
A biscuit with bacon, egg, and cheese, A Potato Hash, Just a Cheese Burger, BBQ sauce on the side.
If you order a McDonald's Burger Plain, you may be able to build a cheaper Big Brekkie Burger without the sesame seed bread used in Australia and New Zealand.
