McDonald's Egg and Cheese Bagel Complete Information

A McDonald's Egg and Cheese Bagel costs $7.64 and carries 520 calories. A folded egg and American cheese on a toasted bagel, with no meat.

This is the most substantial meat free hot breakfast McDonald's sells. Only five items on the entire breakfast menu have published ingredients containing no meat, and of those this is the one that eats like a full sandwich rather than a side. Against the $6.74 bacon version at 590 calories it drops the rashers and their calories while keeping the bagel and the egg. Worth knowing: Hash Browns are not vegetarian in the United States because the frying oil carries a natural beef flavor, so the meat free breakfast is this sandwich with a coffee rather than with a side. Add a Coffee (Small) at $2.49 and the whole order still comes in under most single sandwiches elsewhere.

Health Insight

At 520 calories and 1100mg of sodium, this one is best treated as an occasional order rather than an everyday one.

Lighter alternative: Sausage McMuffin on the same menu comes in at 400 calories. See Sausage McMuffin
