Double Bacon & Egg McMuffin from McDonald’s Breakfast Menu Calories, Allergen
Price: £6.19
If you’re a bacon lover who thinks the standard McMuffin just doesn’t go far enough, the Double Bacon and Egg McMuffin was made with you in mind. It’s a firm favourite on the McDonald’s Breakfast Menu UK, built around two rashers of British back bacon, a freshly cracked free-range egg, a slice of melted cheese, and a warm, toasted English muffin holding it all together. It’s simple, satisfying, and easy to eat on the go exactly what a good breakfast sandwich should be.
Like the rest of the McDonald’s UK breakfast lineup, it’s only available in the mornings, typically from opening until 11:00 AM, so it’s worth timing your visit if this is what you’re after.

Allergens Information
Allergens Information
The Double Bacon and Egg McMuffin contains:
- Wheat (Gluten)
- Rye
- Milk
- Egg
Because this item is prepared in busy McDonald’s kitchens alongside dozens of other menu items, allergens beyond those listed above can still end up in your food through shared equipment, fryers, or prep surfaces. So while the ingredients above are the known allergens in this specific McMuffin, McDonald’s can’t promise it’s completely free from cross-contact with others things like sesame, soya, or mustard, for example, which are common across the wider menu.
If you’re managing a food allergy or intolerance, don’t rely on this list alone. Speak to a crew member before ordering, or check McDonald’s official allergen guide on their website or app it’s updated regularly and gives you the full picture, ingredient by ingredient, so you can order with confidence.
Why Is the Double Bacon and Egg McMuffin Popular?
A few things keep this one near the top of the breakfast menu:
A Genuine Protein Hit
Between the double bacon, the egg, and the cheese, this sandwich packs in a decent amount of protein for its size enough to actually keep you full until lunch, rather than leaving you hungry an hour later.
That Familiar McMuffin Taste
There’s a reason people keep coming back to it: it’s the same well-loved McMuffin flavour UK customers have grown up with, just with extra bacon for those who never think one rasher is enough.
Easy to Get However You Like
You’re not limited to one way of ordering it grab it in-restaurant, through the Drive-Thru, via Click & Serve, on the McDonald’s App, or delivered straight to your door with McDelivery. However your morning’s going, there’s usually a quick way to get one.
Works Well as a Full Breakfast
On its own it’s a solid option, but pair it with a Hash Brown and a coffee and you’ve got a proper, complete breakfast one of the reasons it’s such a popular meal choice rather than just a single-item order.

Is the Double Bacon and Egg McMuffin Healthy?
It’s not going to top anyone’s “clean eating” list, but compared with a lot of fast-food breakfast options, it holds up reasonably well. The protein-to-calorie ratio is genuinely decent, thanks to the double bacon and the egg, which is part of why it keeps you full for longer than a lot of sweeter breakfast items would. That said, it’s still a processed-meat sandwich with a fair amount of sodium, so it’s best treated as an occasional breakfast rather than a daily habit like most things on a fast-food menu, really.
What It Has Going For It
- A solid protein hit, which helps with satiety
- Keeps you fuller for longer than many lighter breakfast options
- Quick, convenient, and easy to fit into a busy morning
Worth Keeping in Mind
- Contains bacon, which is a processed meat
- Moderate saturated fat content
- Not suitable if you’re avoiding gluten or dairy, since it contains both
If you’re watching any of these specifically sodium, saturated fat, or processed meat intake it’s worth balancing it out with the rest of what you eat that day, rather than cutting it out altogether. Everything in moderation and all that.
