Green came across Griddle Cakes on a recent trip to Trader Joe's and wanted to create her own version of the breakfast sandwich. She said it can be made with no meat, or a Trader Joe's frozen chicken apple sausage pattie.
You can also place the Trader Joe's Eggwich breadless breakfast sandwich in between the grocery store's griddle cakes, which is one of the ways she taste tested the best way to duplicate the Mickey D's breakfast item.
WHAT YOU SHOULD ORDER AT MCDONALD'S, ACCORDING TO NUTRITIONISTS
"I absolutely love Trader Joe’s, and there’s one about 3 minutes from my house so I go frequently to catch the new items," Green told FOX Business.
"When I saw the Dutch Griddle Cakes in the frozen section my eyes also panned over to the Eggwich’s and it was an ‘aha moment,’" she added.
Green took the two ingredients and filmed the moment in hopes to share the results.
Green's video attracted fans of both Trader Joe's and McDonald's who were quick to join in on the conversation.

@singleafmama Replying to @sydddthekyd Grab ya keys sis!!! 🥞 These are so good and buttery you almost don’t miss the syrup…but I added a bit anyway. Both were SOOO good but if you really want that #McGriddle #dupe, the eggwich combo was best bet. I also took one egg patty off for my version to make it replicate the original. Lemme know when yall try it ✨ #TraderJoes #DutchCakes #Mcdonalds #mcdonaldshacks #tastetest ♬ SZA Blind - DRILL REMIX - Lowkeymali
