    This McDonald’s breakfast sauce recipe is sure to take your breakfast sandwich to the next level with its incredible flavor. If you have been missing this sauce since it was taken off the McDonald’s menu, then you must try this simple recipe to make your own at home.

    Bowl of yellow sauce and a spoon.

    McDonald’s sauces can add lots of flavor to an otherwise ordinary meal. Their breakfast sauce has unfortunately been taken off the menu but was a favorite of mine and many customers.

    Why you need to make this copycat McDonald’s breakfast sauce

    • Taste: This creamy sauce tastes just like what used to be on the McDonald’s breakfast menu. It’s savory, sweet, and tangy all in one simple sauce.
    • Simple: Can be made easily at home in minutes.
    • Delicious: This sauce isn’t just for breakfast food. You can use it on so many things like this copycat McDonald’s steak, egg, and cheese bagel, breakfast burrito, wraps, seafood, chicken, and more. It’s also perfect to use for dipping things like chicken tenders, onion rings, and fries.

    Ingredients needed for breakfast sauce

    Every wonder what McDonald’s breakfast sauce is made of? You might be surprised its made with just a few simple ingredients you might already have in your kitchen.

    • Mayonnaise – You can use your favorite mayonnaise.
    • Mustard – Yellow mustard is needed for this sauce recipe.
    • Steak Sauce – I am using A1 steak sauce but use your favorite.
    • Lemon Juice – This helps add a little acidity and tangy flavor to the sauce.
    • Dried Dill Weed – Fresh dill can also be substituted for dried.
    • Salt & Pepper – Sea salt and ground black pepper adds seasoning and flavor. Adjust the amount to taste.

    How to make Copycat McDonald’s Breakfast Sauce Recipe

    Step one: Place mayonnaise, mustard, steak sauce, lemon juice, dill, salt, and pepper in a small mixing bowl. Stir well with a spoon or whisk to combine.

    Step two: You can serve immediately or place it in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator to let the flavors come together.

    Recipe tips and variations

    Portions: This recipe makes about 1 cup. If you would like more for the week, you can easily double the recipe ingredients.

    Mustard: If you like a punch of flavor, try substituting the yellow mustard with Dijon mustard.

    Heat: Like spicy flavors? Try adding a splash of hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the mixture.

    Chill: If you have time I would recommend letting the sauce chill in the refrigerator for a few hours. It really helps the flavors come together for the most flavorful sauce.

    How to store

    Store any leftover McDonald’s sauce in an airtight container like a jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

    This sauce does not freeze well.

      I made the sauce exactly as specified, and used (like you) a-1 sauce, but did not have yellow mustard, so used Dijon. First taste of sauce immediately after blending was not at all like McDonalds bagel sauce. I’m going to put it together for dinner with egg and cheese and see how that goes. Here’s hoping it morphs into something wonderful, because the best part of the McD bagel sandwich is definitely the sauce. Theirs is yellow; this one turned out more brownish, probably because I did not use French’s yellow mustard, or could be the a-1. I’ll see later. Thanks for the recipe.

      At one time I had found an amazing recipe for this sauce and lost it. I have been looking for another sauce mix but have not found one that was even close. Yours is close but not like the previous one. I do know it had the mayonnaise and it used a whole grain mustard, dill and a small amount of sugar. Yours is the closest one I have found. Thank you!

      I made exactly as listed. It tastes kind of like what you would put in potato salad or deviled eggs with 2 tablespoons of mustard. After you have for a while it calms down. Going to make again with 1 Tablespoon.

      I made the sauce today because I wanted to make an epic at home breakfast sandwich. I had all the ingredients in the fridge, except for the dried dill, so I used oregano and I also added red pepper chili flakes. Honestly it was so good! Definitely tasted like the McDonald’s sauce, I could’ve used a little bit less lemon juice. Overall I’m going to make this sauce again it was a tasty alternative to a basic mayonnaise or butter.
