Chick-fil-A announced that it will begin testing a new breakfast item titled 'Chorizo Cheddar Egg Bites.' The test will begin on August 22nd, 2022, and will take place at select Chick-fil-A locations across North America. The release of these new egg bites marks the first new breakfast item for the fast-food chain in over five years, as the restaurant capitalizes on the rising trend of breakfast offerings at fast-food restaurants. Fast-food restaurants such as Subway, Wendy's, and Taco Bell have all recently joined the likes of McDonald's and Burger King in adding breakfast menus to their regular operations.
The Chorizo Cheddar Egg Bites are made with real, whole eggs, and are blended with real cheddar cheese as well as Monterey jack cheese. The bites are then stuffed with a moderately spicy Mexican chorizo sausage, bringing a range of flavors in each bite. The price of the menu item may vary by location.
