MostMcDonald’saficionados know that U.S. locations serve breakfast until 10 a.m. — but not everyone is privy to a secret menu item that can be ordered during the quick transition from breakfast to lunch.
Since the chain switches to serving staples like burgers, fries, nuggets, and other savory offerings after 10, fans can really only request it around 10:35 a.m. when all ingredients are near the grill, according to The Food Guy, who tested it out for himself.

The McBrunch has been a mainstream McDonald’s menu item in Australia for quite a while. The staple item, known as theBig Brekkie Burgerdown under, brings together the same ingredients as the McBrunch burger, including: two burger patties, a hash brown, melted cheese, bacon, and an egg — but it also includes “a dollop of BBQ sauce,” according to the McDonald’s Australia website. Like the McBrunch, though, it isn’t available all day — guests can only order it before 10:30 a.m., at participating locations.
A representative for McDonald’s did not respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment on the McBrunch, but in 2020, PEOPLEconfirmed the existence of a secret menu.
“We know our customers are really creative, and they tell us all the time that they enjoy customizing our menu,” the spokesperson told PEOPLE at the time.

“If you explain what it is, and are willing to pay for all the ingredients, it’s just another ‘grill order’ that we can make up," the manager added in the Reddit thread.
The sweet and spicy jam sauce is similar to a pepper jelly. It has a bit of a fruit forward flavor with a hint of spice from cayenne and tongue-tingling Szechuan peppercorns.
