Crave no more for McDonalds' classic Big Breakfast with two delicious DIY versions.
For the original, fry up some chicken patties with a touch of flavourful garlic and onion seasonings and a hint of herby thyme sweetness. And the hard part's over.
Now toast up a frozen hash brown, scramble some eggs and slice up some English muffins to complete.
No grape jam? Other fruity spreads work too.
If you're looking for a fuller breakfast, plump up your scrambled eggs with juicy shiitake mushrooms, or any other mushrooms for an extra umami taste.
