Ingredients That You’ll Need:
Before you learn how to make Mcdonald’s breakfast sauce, you need to gather your ingredients together.
You’ll need:
- Mayonnaise – We suggest using real mayonnaise for this sauce, it’s what makes it super creamy! If you want a tangier sauce, you can swap regular mayo out for salad dressing.
- Yellow Mustard – Regular yellow mustard adds a nice tangy flavor but if you want a kick to your sauce, try adding dijon mustard instead!
- Lemon Juice– Lemon juice adds brightness to the flavor and also acts as a natural preservative to the sauce.
- Steak Sauce – Steak sauce is the secret of this condiment! It adds the right amount of spice and tanginess to give its signature taste. (You can also use Worcestershire sauce if you don’t like steak sauce)
- Dried Dill Weed – Dried dill adds a sour, herbal note that works well with the flavor of the rest of the ingredients.
- Salt – Regular table salt rounds out the savory flavor. You can also use sea salt if you prefer.
- Black Pepper – The sauce would not be complete without pepper. If you can, use freshly ground peppercorns!
Other additives for flavor variations could be pickle juice instead of lemon juice, salad dressing instead of mayo, and hot sauce or pickled jalapenos for some heat. You can also add cayenne pepper or paprika for depth of flavor.
Just keep in mind that any flavor additives will not reflect the original recipe’s taste. If you want the sauce served in the restaurant, follow the recipe exactly.
