peterson developed the egg mcmuffin, which has become a mcdonald's breakfast signature item, in 1972. peterson was said to like eggs benedict, so he worked to develop a breakfast item which was similar to it for the fast food chain. peterson eventually came up with the egg mcmuffin, which was an egg sandwich consisting of an egg formed in a teflon circle with the yolks broken, topped with canadian bacon and a slice of cheese. the egg mcmuffin was served as an open faced sandwich on a buttered and toasted english muffin.

prompted by meat rationing during world war ii, a manager for a white castle at st. louis introduced the first fast food egg dish with a fried egg sandwich. however, the dish was unpopular, and was abandoned as soon as wartime meat rationing was lifted. fast food restaurants did not begin serving egg dishes again until the 1970s, starting with the mcdonald's egg mcmuffin, invented in 1971 by a mcdonald's franchisee in santa barbara, california.
