Description
This Copycat McDonald’s Steak, Egg, and Cheese Bagel recipe brings all the savory goodness of the beloved fast-food breakfast sandwich right into your kitchen. Made with tender shaved steak, perfectly scrambled eggs, melted American cheese, and caramelized onions, all layered inside a toasted bagel, this sandwich is a hearty and satisfying meal to start your day.
Ingredients
2 plain bagels (you can also use everything, onion, or cheese bagels)
1/2 pound shaved steak
4 eggs, beaten
2 slices American cheese (cheddar or provolone are also suitable)
1 small onion, sliced
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon Montreal steak seasoning
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Sauce Ingredients:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons mustard
1/4 teaspoon dried dill
Instructions
Prepare the breakfast sauce by mixing together mayonnaise, mustard, and dill in a small bowl. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook until the onions are slightly browned, then remove and set aside.
In a bowl, mix the shaved steak with Worcestershire sauce and Montreal steak seasoning. Heat another tablespoon of butter in the skillet and cook the steak until just browned. Return the onions to the skillet, mix with the steak, and form two piles. Place a slice of cheese on each pile to melt.
In the same skillet, add the last tablespoon of butter and scramble the beaten eggs, dividing them into two portions for the sandwiches.
Toast the bagels on a skillet or in a toaster. To assemble the sandwiches, spread some of the prepared sauce on each bagel half. Place half of the scrambled eggs on the bottom half of each bagel, then top with the steak and onion mixture, and cover with the top half of the bagel.
Notes
- Make It Your Own: Customize the sandwich to suit your tastes by swapping out ingredients like the type of bagel, cheese, or meat. Cheddar, provolone, or Swiss cheese can offer a different flavor profile. For a healthier twist, use whole wheat bagels, egg whites, or leaner steak options.
- Vegetarian Option: For a meat-free alternative, replace the shaved steak with sautéed mushrooms or a plant-based meat substitute. You’ll still enjoy the same hearty texture and flavor.
- Storage Tips: If you’re making this sandwich ahead of time, store the components separately and assemble just before eating. If you freeze the sandwich, reheat in an oven or air fryer to maintain the crispiness of the bagel.
- Sauce Variations: Experiment with different sauces to match your flavor preferences. Spicy aioli, Sriracha mayo, or even horseradish can add an extra kick to the sandwich.
