It's 7:40 a.m., the drive-thru line is moving, and you have about eight seconds to decide: the giant burrito that could double as lunch, or the little one that costs about as much as a coffee?
Burger King sells two very different breakfast burritos, and choosing the wrong one means either paying for food you can't finish or being hungry again by 9:30. This guide puts them side by side so you can order with confidence.

The 10-Second Answer
- Very hungry, or skipping lunch? Get the Egg-Normous Burrito.
- Want a cheap, quick bite? Get the Breakfast Burrito Jr., or two of them.
- Watching calories? The Jr. has roughly 40% of the calories of the Egg-Normous.

What's Inside the Egg-Normous Burrito
The name is not an exaggeration. Inside a large flour tortilla you'll typically find:
- Scrambled eggs
- Sausage
- Thick-cut bacon
- Crispy hash browns, folded right in
- American cheese
- A creamy, peppery breakfast sauce
The hash browns are the secret. They add crunch and make every bite feel like a full breakfast plate rolled up. It's heavy, filling and salty, so think of it as a brunch, not a snack.
What's Inside the Breakfast Burrito Jr.
Much simpler, much smaller:
- Scrambled eggs
- Sausage
- American cheese
- Salsa (at many locations; ask if it's missing)
It's the kind of thing you can eat with one hand at a red light. At under $2.50 at most stores, it's also one of the cheapest hot items on the entire BK menu.
Price per Calorie: Which Is Better Value?
| Burrito | Mid price | Calories | Calories per $1 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Egg-Normous | ~$5.00 | ~810 | ~162 |
| Burrito Jr. | ~$1.90 | ~340 | ~179 |
| 2 × Burrito Jr. | ~$3.80 | ~680 | ~179 |
Two Burrito Jr.s give you almost as much food as one Egg-Normous for about a dollar less. The Egg-Normous wins on toppings, though: bacon, hash browns and sauce aren't in the Jr.
How to Order It Better
- Ask for extra sauce on the Egg-Normous. Many fans say the sauce makes the burrito.
- Add salsa to the Jr. If your store doesn't include it, ask for picante sauce packets.
- Go meatless. Ask for no sausage or bacon for a vegetarian egg, cheese and hash brown burrito.
- Sweet and salty: dip a few bites in pancake syrup. It sounds odd, and it works.
- Check the BK app first. Breakfast burritos often appear in "2 for" or "$1 off" breakfast offers.
When Can You Get Them?
Both burritos are breakfast-only. At most US Burger King restaurants, breakfast runs from opening until 10:30 a.m., including weekends. Once the kitchen switches to lunch, burritos come off the menu.
Is the Egg-Normous Burrito Healthy?
Not really, and that's fine for an occasional treat. At around 810 calories with high fat and sodium, it's a full meal's worth of energy. If you want something lighter, the Burrito Jr., an Egg & Cheese Croissan'wich or a small coffee with French Toast Sticks are all smaller choices.
