McDonald's Steak, Egg & Cheese Bagel Complete Information

A McDonald's Steak, Egg & Cheese Bagel costs $7.64 and carries 680 calories, which makes it the heaviest sandwich on the McDonald's breakfast menu. Seasoned steak with grilled onions, folded egg and American cheese on a toasted bagel.

Steak is unusual on a fast food breakfast board, and this is the only item on the McDonald's menu that carries it. The grilled onions are part of the build rather than a topping, and they are what make it read as a diner breakfast rather than a sandwich. At $7.64 it is also the most expensive breakfast sandwich, and the meal version at $10.99 is the priciest breakfast bundle on the board. This is a full meal in one hand, not something to pair with a side. Pair it with a black Coffee (Small) at $2.49 and stop there.

Health Insight

At 680 calories and 1510mg of sodium, this one is best treated as an occasional order rather than an everyday one.

How to Make a Steak, Egg & Cheese Bagel at Home?

The steak here is thin sliced and cooked fast with onions rather than seared as a piece, which is what makes it work in a sandwich. Anything thicker turns chewy against a bagel. The restaurant version is $7.64.

Tips

  • Slice the steak as thin as you can manage. Twenty minutes in the freezer makes that possible.
  • Ninety seconds maximum on the steak. This is the one component that punishes overcooking.
  • Onions first, steak after, in the same pan. The onion sugars season the beef.

Variations

  • Swap the steak for bacon for the Bacon, Egg & Cheese Bagel at $6.74.
  • Add sliced mushrooms with the onions for a version closer to a diner steak and eggs.
  • Use a sharper cheese than American, which stands up better to the beef.

Serve immediately, on its own. The restaurant version is $7.64 and the meal $10.99, the priciest breakfast bundle on the menu.
