Available from participating McDoanald's locations in Canada, the new Bacon, Egg & Smoky Gouda McMuffin features a toasted English muffin topped with a freshly cracked Canada Grade A egg, [smokey Gouda cheese](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creamy-smoked-gouda), hickory smoked bacon, and a Smoky cheese-flavored sauce.

Both the new Bacon, Egg & Smoky Gouda McMuffin and Bagel are available during breakfast hours only (until 11:00 AM), and only for a limited time.
