National Egg McMuffin Day is Monday, March 2, and throughout the day, the fast food chain will be offering $1 Egg McMuffins and $1 Egg Sausage McMuffins to customers who order through the McDonald’s mobile app.

On the other hand, “Sausage McMuffin” and “Sausage McMuffin with Egg” use sausage instead of bacon.
