The McDonalds baguette quickly rose to fame after appearing on the hit TV show.
McDonalds has re-released the sandwich in French branches due to its popularity, but since it’s not yet available in Australia, the homemade version will have to do.
In the show’s new season, Emily leads the marketing team for McDonalds’ latest release – the McBaguette.
“Did you know that Emily’s McBaguette in Paris really exists? But they don’t sell it in Australia,” Bec said.
To make the recipe, the fitness coach made a small one baguette, shredded lettuce, Bernaise sauce, Jarlsberg cheese and lean ground beef.
