McDonald’s is celebrating National Egg McMuffin Day with a limited-time deal for customers.
The fast-food giant is offering customers its classic breakfast sandwich or Sausage McMuffin with Egg for $1 on Monday during breakfast hours. In order to receive the deal, the McMuffin must be ordered through the McDonald’s mobile app.
The McMuffin traces its roots to Santa Barbara, California, in early 1971. McDonald’s owner/operator Herb Peterson developed the idea for the sandwich when a version of Eggs Benedict – particularly the Hollandaise sauce – didn’t make the cut. A slice of cheese replaced the sauce, and along with Canadian bacon, an egg and English muffin, the sandwich was created, according to McDonald’s.

It entered test markets the following year and was served open-faced with honey or jam on a small tray. It cost 63 cents, equivalent to about $4.99 today.
