Steak Egg and Cheese Bagel
A quick and easy recipe for a delicious homemade version of the classic McDonald's Steak Egg and Cheese Bagel, perfect for busy mornings.
Ingredients
For the Bagel
- 1 piece bagel (your choice—plain, everything, or onion)
For the Filling
- 1/4 pound flank steak Seasoned with salt and pepper
- 1 piece egg Cooked sunny-side-up or over-easy
- 1 slice cheddar cheese Use your favorite cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter For frying the egg
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional a splash of hot sauce For a spicy kick
Instructions
Cook the Steak
- Season the flank steak with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook your steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side, depending on your desired doneness. Once cooked, let it rest and slice it thinly against the grain.
Fry the Egg
- In another skillet, reduce heat to medium and melt the butter. Crack the egg into the skillet, sprinkle with salt, and cook sunny-side-up or flip for over-easy.
Toast the Bagel
- Split and toast the bagel until golden brown.
Assemble the Bagel
- Start with the bottom half of your toasted bagel; add cheese, layer on sliced steak, and top with the fried egg. If desired, add a splash of hot sauce.
Enjoy!
- Marvel at your creation and dig in. Optionally, pair it with coffee or a smoothie.
Notes
Keep an eye on your skillet while multitasking to cut down prep time. Customize your bagel and protein for variety.
