‘Folded layer of a McGriddle’ NYT Mini Crossword difficulty rating

I have never seen the McGriddle sandwiches in an Indian McDonald’s chain. I had to look up the sandwich to understand that the egg is folded inside it, which makes it quite convenient to pick it up and have it as your breakfast.

If you have tried the McGriddle, you will know its ingredients, and it should be a very easy solution. So, I’d give it a three out of five for difficulty.
