IT’S BEEN the surprise hit of the winter, but last week it was taken off the menu because it had been too popular.
McDonald’s fans had been heading to restaurants across the country to order the Breakfast Wrap, which returned for a limited time.
Comprising a tortilla filled with creamy cheese, bacon, a pork patty and hash brown, it was a popular breakfast choice for many.
The fast-food company said it needed to take the item away days after bringing it back to ensure it had enough ingredients for its other breakfast dishes.
Now, supermarket chain Aldi reckons it can help anyone seeking the breakfast sweet spot by recreating it in the comfort of their own home. And it says it would be a fraction of the price, coming in at £1.20 per home-made wrap, rather that £4.39 for the real thing.
Its shopping list is:
- Village Bakery White Tortilla Wraps (£0.99, 496g, pack of 8) – 12p each
- Merevale Medium British Free Range Eggs (£1.35, 6 pack) – 23p each
- Oakhurst Breakfast Pork Patties (£1.99, 342g, 6 pack) – 33p each
- Everyday Essentials Smoked Back Bacon (£1.45, 300g, 7 pack) – 21p each
- Oakhurst Breakfast Hash Browns (£1.99, 500g, pack of 10) – 19p each
- Emporium Original Cheese Slices (£0.99, 200g, 8 slices) – 12p each
Collectively, the ingredients cost £8.76 – meaning six wraps could be made for less than the price of two McDonald’s wraps.
Put together and it is a home-spun take on the McDonald’s favourite.
Aldi has branches across Reading and Wokingham.
