McDonald's is encouraging customers to make their own McMuffin sandwiches.
McDonald's released a recipe card for its Sausage and Egg McMuffin after someone tweeted that they made their own at home.
The Sausage and Egg McMuffin is a fairly simple concept — as proven by the recipe card.
The sandwich has four ingredients: English muffin, sausage meat, eggs, and American cheese.
If you want to make it just like the chain, you can opt for free-range eggs and a pork sausage patty.
Disney is offering up recipes for some of its most iconic park snacks.
The company has posted recipes to the blog on its website as well as its mobile app.
So far, Disney has shared its recipe for churros ...
Disney's Food & Beverage Communications Coordinator shared a recipe for the park's famous churros on the Disney Parks Blog.
The recipe only has eight ingredients — water, butter, salt, cinnamon, flour, eggs, oil, and sugar — and serves four people.
... and Dole Whip.
Dole Whip is a park favorite. While the version sold at Disney is vegan, the recipe that was released on the My Disney Experience app calls for a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
There are only three ingredients in this version: ice cream, frozen pineapple, and pineapple juice.
Disney also posted the recipe for the grilled cheese sandwich sold at Toy Story Land inside the park.
This grilled cheese sandwich features two types of sliced cheese as well as a garlic spread and a cream cheese spread.
The Disney blog post lists instructions for how to make both spreads as well as how to assemble the entire sandwich.
The Cheesecake Factory was posting some of its newest recipes to its website before its dining rooms closed.
The Cheesecake Factory has a library of 19 recipes on its website. While none of them are for the restaurant's famed cheesecake itself, they range from sweet pancakes to savory snacks and dinner items.
A representative for The Cheesecake Factory told Insider that each time new menu items are added at the restaurant, one of them is featured on the chain's site.
One of the recipes listed is for the restaurant's cinnamon roll pancakes.
These pancakes are made using 10 ingredients, and the recipe on the site yields four pancakes total.
There are instructions for making both the pancakes and the cinnamon swirl mixture — for that, you'll need butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cream.
One of the dinner items is called Chicken Bellagio.
The Cheesecake Factory's recipe for Chicken Bellagio requires almost 20 ingredients.
There are several different components like the spaghetti base, the breaded chicken, and the homemade sauce.
