Burger King doesn't get as much breakfast-menu coverage as other fast food spots, but it's a chain that has really thought the morning menu through. Wendy's might have the best egg sandwich (at least since its breakfast menu relaunch), and McDonald's Egg McMuffin may be beloved and historied, but BK delivers quality options with no fuss, from breakfast sandwiches to burritos to French toast sticks.

The best of them might just be the Fully Loaded Croissan'wich. It comes with sausage, bacon, smoked ham, eggs, and melted American cheese served on a vaguely croissant-inspired toasted bun. But it could be better. And with two magic words, it is! Just ask for your Croissan'wich with an extra patty for an unforgettable, extra meaty (and extremely filling) BK breakfast experience. Sure, there are more subtle, cleverer Burger King ordering hacks, but if it works, it works!

It's unclear exactly how much an extra patty costs at breakfast, but prices for additions tend to vary by location as the fast food chain is franchised. According to Reddit, adding an extra patty to a Whopper costs anything from around a dollar to a whopping (sorry!) $3.99. It's possible that adding sausage patties to breakfast items could be just as variably priced, so unless money is no object, it's probably best to ask before you pull the trigger on your even meatier Fully Loaded Croissan'wich. 

Things to keep in mind when ordering a double-patty Fully Loaded Criossan'wich

The first thing to know before you try to double-sausage game the Croissan'wich is that Burger King stops serving breakfast at 10:30 a.m. Unfortunately, unlike some fast food chains where breakfast is available all day, BK limits it to the morning hours. Perhaps that's why the king's a.m. options are so often overlooked? In my mind, the standard Burger King breakfast termination time is basically criminal. But there's a reason I chose the insomnia-friendly life of a writer. 

The second thing you need to know, and probably the more important, given that 10:30 cutoff — you can't pull the "extra patty" trick if you're ordering online. Even for lunch items, the online option apparently depends on the franchise owner. For breakfast, it seems like it either can't be opted into or it simply isn't popular.

Making up for things a little, you can order a small selection of burgers in the app before lunch service starts. If you're just too sleepy for a drive to BK and have to DoorDash, look for the Burgers for Breakfast icon and pair a burger with the last of the restaurant's breakfast sides to create the god-tier brunch meal of a Whopper with crispy little circular BK hash browns. If I were ordering this, I'd put the hash browns in the Whopper. And you know what, I'd do the same in a double-meat Croissan'wich. Perhaps that's what will finally get me to the drive-through at 10:28 a.m.?
