Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
