And if this flavor combination sounds familiar, that's because it is. Last fall, [McDonald's Canada](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bacon-egg-jalapeno-cheddar-mcmuffin) rolled out a [Bacon, Egg & Jalapeno Cheddar McMuffin](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/everything-bagel-breakfast-sandwich), which featured a similar pairing of a freshly cracked egg, hickory-smoked bacon, jalapeno-laced marble cheddar cheese, and a creamy jalapeno sauce. The new Cheesy Jalapeño Sausage Egg McMuffin can be found now at participating McDonald's restaurants until August 13, 2023.
