McDonald’s began serving breakfast about 50 years ago, testing a Continental Breakfast in 1971. Their initial breakfast included the Egg McMuffin, a sandwich designed by California franchisee Herb Peterson as an “eggs benedict on the go,” according to a McDonald’s infographic shared by Foodbeast. The fast food restaurant’s first national breakfast menu was rolled out in 1977, and it included the Egg McMuffin, hotcakes, toasted English muffin, scrambled eggs, sausage, hash browns and Danish, according to the infographic. By 1986, one out of every four breakfasts served outside the home came from McDonald’s. All Day Breakfast launched in 2015, but McDonald’s breakfast hours have changed since then.

What happened to McDonald’s All Day Breakfast?
McDonald’s launched All Day Breakfast in 2015 but halted it, at least temporarily, in March 2020 at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic. “We initially removed All Day Breakfast from the menu to simplify operations in our kitchens, which we saw provided better speed of service and order accuracy for our customers,” the company tweeted in July 2020. “We’re evaluating if and how we will bring All Day Breakfast back to our menus.”
Is McDonald’s All Day Breakfast coming back?
It’s unclear whether All Day Breakfast will be returning to a Mickey D’s near you anytime soon. “As McDonald’s and franchisees evaluate if and how we make some of our customers’ favorite breakfast menu items more available throughout the day, any decision will be made in partnership with our franchisees, based on consumer demand, and designed to drive the business while minimizing operational disruptions,” the company told Parade.com.
