The fillet is breaded with a special cornmeal blend to give it a delectable crunch and an enjoyable flavor. The egg on the sandwich is puffed and scrambled then formed into a small circle that can fit on the sandwich. The namesake for the sandwich, the [maple butter spread](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maple-spice-cold-brew), is made with real butter, maple syrup, and sea salt. Lastly, each of these ingredients are served between two hot Oat Biscuit Roll buns. The sandwich is a total 420 calories.
