Netflix’s hit show Emily in Paris just returned for its third season and one of its prominent storylines revolves around food. Emily gets to lead the marketing campaign for McDonald’s new offering called McBaguette and manages to do a great job despite facing tough challenges along the way.
Most U.S. fans of the show thought that McBaguette was just something that the writers made up, but it turns out the sandwich is real. It consists of two beef patties, two slices of cheese, lettuce, and mustard, snuggled in a baguette.
The McBaguette was first launched in 2012 and it has been featured at McDonald’s France as a limited item on an annual basis. You can get one now as the fast-food chain returned its menu due to popular demand following an appearance in Emily in Paris.
Unfortunately, McBaguette won’t be coming to the United States anytime soon, but that doesn’t stop you from recreating it at your home. There are two ways you can do this.
One way is to buy two regular cheeseburgers at McDonald’s and a baguette at your local French bakery. Then simply take out the patties from the cheeseburgers and place them inside a baguette alongside some lettuce and mustard.
The other way is to make it from scratch by following the recipe from TikTok user @la_faim.
