Updated 12 September 2026 · price from a third party listing
Egg & Cheese McMuffin sits 8th of 16 on price in McDonald's Breakfast section, at £2.79 and 296 kcal. Updated 12 September 2026.
A freshly-cracked free range egg, and our famous toasted English muffins. With a slice of cheese, it's perfect to enjoy on the go.
The £2.79 figure came from a third party listing rather than from McDonald's, which means it may reflect a delivery menu. Delivery prices sit above in restaurant prices before any fee is added, so treat this as the ceiling rather than the till price.

Everything You Need to Know About McDonald's Egg & Cheese McMuffin
How to order Egg & Cheese McMuffin at McDonald's
Counter, kiosk and app all carry it. The McDonald's app adds collection and delivery. It is filed under Breakfast. Availability is set per branch, so a smaller site may not carry it at all.
McDonald's Egg & Cheese McMuffin price in 2026
The McDonald's Egg & Cheese McMuffin price in 2026 is £2.79 on the figures we hold. The figure came from a third party listing rather than from McDonald's, so read it as a ceiling. Within the Breakfast section that puts it 8th of 16 on price. Expect more at airport, motorway and station branches than on a high street, and more again through a delivery app.
Allergens declared
McDonald's declares 3 of the 14 allergens UK law requires to be listed for this item: cereals containing gluten, eggs and milk. It also lists sesame as a possible trace, meaning McDonald's cannot rule that out. A declaration covers the recipe and not the kitchen, and every one of these chains prepares food in shared fryers and on shared surfaces. For a severe allergy the only reliable check is asking staff on the day.
What 296 kcal means here
296 kcal is a little below the Breakfast average. That is a normal single course for most people, and it leaves room for a side. The 2,000 kcal figure printed on UK menus is a reference intake for an average adult, not a target, and it is the number these percentages are worked against.
Where it sits on price
7 items cost less than this one in the Breakfast section and 8 cost more, out of 16 we hold a price for. The closest thing to it on price is Double Bacon & Egg McMuffin at £2.79–£5.89, so those two are the real comparison when you are deciding.
A lighter choice in the same section
Not available in all Restaurants Flahavan's Quick Oats sits in the same part of the menu at 194 kcal, which is 102 fewer than this. That swap is the single biggest change available inside this section, and it needs no substitution or special request at the counter.
Pro Tips for Ordering Egg & Cheese McMuffin
Breakfast timing
Breakfast items come off the menu at a set time, which varies by branch rather than nationally. The only way to be sure is to get there before the changeover, and the app shows the current menu for the branch you have selected.
Finding it near you
We list 119 McDonald's branches across 4 of the four UK nations, with the Leeds postcode area holding the most at 9. Menus vary by site, so a listing here is national rather than a promise about your nearest one. The McDonald's app confirms it in seconds.
