For the Breakfast Sauce
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
- ½ teaspoon lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon sugar
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
For the Sandwich
- 1 steak patty (or 6 oz shaved steak)
- 1 tablespoon butter (divided)
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 plain bagel, toasted
- 1 slice American cheese
- Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, yellow mustard, lemon juice, sugar, onion powder, and garlic powder. Stir until smooth and set aside to allow flavors to meld.
- Caramelize the Onions: Heat ½ tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes until they become golden brown and sweet. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Cook the Steak: In the same skillet, add the steak patty or shaved steak. Cook over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned and fully cooked through. Remove from pan and keep warm.
- Scramble the Egg: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk until combined. Melt the remaining ½ tablespoon butter in the pan, then pour in the egg mixture. Cook gently, folding the egg into a square shape suitable for easy sandwich assembly.
- Assemble the Bagel: Spread the prepared breakfast sauce evenly on both halves of the toasted bagel. On the bottom half, layer the cooked steak, caramelized onions, scrambled egg, and slice of American cheese.
- Serve Hot: Place the top half of the bagel over the stacked ingredients, press lightly to secure, and serve immediately while warm and melty.
Notes
- You can substitute the steak patty with shaved steak for a different texture.
- Use a plain bagel to best replicate the original McDonald’s style, but any bagel variety can work.
- For a dairy-free version, use a plant-based cheese and omit butter or replace with a vegan alternative.
- Make sure to caramelize the onions slowly for maximum sweetness and flavor.
- Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
