I made a Michelin-starred chef's version of the McDonald's McMuffin in just 10 minutes, and it blew the original out of the water

Insider

• Michelin-starred chef Greg Marchand recently told me about his version of a McDonald's McMuffin, which he said was healthier and tasted "100 times better."
• Marchand, who runs Frenchie in London and Paris, also told me the recipe only took 10 minutes to make.
• So I decided to put Marchand's creation up against McDonald's Egg McMuffin and see how they'd compare.
• Marchand's bacon and egg muffin was deliciously crunchy, cheesy, and moist — and tasted far superior to McDonald's classic breakfast sandwich.

Over the last year, I've interviewed dozens of Michelin-starred chefs and learned about hundreds of delicious dishes to help us get through all this extra time in the kitchen.

But it was one chef's recipe for an upgraded McDonald's McMuffin that recently caught my eye.

Greg Marchand, the chef patron of Frenchie in London and Paris, told me that his homemade version of the chain's beloved breakfast sandwich was not only healthier, it tasted "100 times better."

So I decided to put Marchand's bacon and egg muffin up against McDonald's in a taste test, and discovered that the chef's easy and foolproof sandwich - which only took 10 minutes to make - was far superior.
