Copycat McDonald's Steak Egg and Cheese Bagels layer creamy scrambled eggs, Worcestershire-seasoned shaved steak, golden onion, melted American cheese, and tangy dill-mustard sauce on toasted bagels. Cooking each component in the same skillet builds flavor without overcooking the thin steak.
The recipe makes exactly 2 sandwiches in 25 minutes: 10 minutes of preparation and 15 minutes of cooking. Divide the 3 tablespoons butter among onion, eggs, and steak, then assemble while every layer is hot.
Steak Egg and Cheese Bagel Ingredients
The sandwiches use 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided, 1 small sliced yellow onion, ½ lb shaved steak, 4 beaten eggs, 1 teaspoon Montreal steak seasoning, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, ½ teaspoon salt, exactly 2 American cheese slices, and 2 split bagels.
For the special sauce, measure ½ cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons yellow mustard, and ¼ teaspoon dried dill. Mix it first so it can chill while the hot components cook.
