McMuffin

Let's examine the Egg McMuffin for a moment.

For a breakfast sandwich, it's really quite restrained. One egg, one slice of lean Canadian bacon (or ham or whatever you want to call it), one slice of processed cheese, and one English muffin.

Total is 300 calories, or less, depending on where on the planet you get it. Compare it to some of McD's other offerings like the Sausage Burrito (often eaten in pairs) or the Steak, Egg & Cheese bagel. Much less indulgent - and the flavors aren't even that strong. Whereas the sausage of the Sausage McMuffin with Egg is sort of in-your-face (but tasty), the meat in the regular Egg McMuffin is very subdued, adding just the right accent of salt to the egg. The sandwich as a whole is on the drier side, with just enough moisture provided by the fried ingredients plus liquid margarine.

It's a low-key, balanced sandwich that's not even that bad for you, and it's easily the best thing on the McD's breakfast menu. Truth be told, I'm kind of amazed it's still around as American tastes have gravitated towards heavier and more distinctive fare like the McGriddles and McSkillets.
