Available for just a limited time from McDonald’s locations in South Korea, the new Christmas Truffle Cheese Burger is a twist on the French dish aligot, which is essentially a fondue dish made from cheese blended into mashed potatoes. To recreate this indulgent dish, McDonald’s has created a breaded mashed potato and three-cheese burger patty and paired it with a savory beef patty, tomato, lettuce, cheese, and a creamy truffle sauce. The whole thing is then served on a toasted sesame seed bun.
For a similar flavor, minus the beef, the new Christmas Truffle Cheese Muffin, is a holiday breakfast sandwich featuring the same cheesy mashed potato patty, truffle sauce, cheese, and tomato, all served on a toasted English muffin.
