Breakfast Bagel

What is it?

Toasted, split, and filled with a folded egg, American cheese, and either sausage or bacon, the bagel base here is denser and chewier than the English muffin used in the McMuffin line. McDonald's also offered a steak option in some markets, which swaps in thin-sliced beef for a different protein profile. Because of that density, the whole sandwich eats more like a substantial breakfast roll. Signature breakfast sauce ties the parts together, adding a creamy, tangy note that shows up on this bagel series rather than on most other McDonald's breakfast sandwiches.
