If you are looking for a hearty breakfast or lunch, this steak, egg, and cheese bagel is just the thing! This sandwich was a favorite breakfast item on McDonald’s breakfast menu but has been taken off the menu. Not to worry, you can now make your own at home.

I was so sad when I went to McDonald’s one morning and their steak bagel sandwich disappeared off the menu. Typically, I’m not big on fast food breakfast but this was one of my favorites.

Of course I had to go home and try to recreate the breakfast bagel myself. After some trial and error, and lots of taste testing, I think I’ve got a recipe that is pretty darn close. Tender steak, fluffy eggs, melted cheese, and a bagel slathered with breakfast sauce, yum!
