Ingredients
- 4 plain bagels sliced
- 5 tablespoons butter divided use
- 1/2 white onion sliced
- 1 pound ground chuck
- 2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 4 eggs whisked
- 4 slices American cheese
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon dill
Instructions
- Separate the tops and bottoms of the bagels. Spread about 1/2 tablespoon of butter on the cut side of each bagel half and place them butter-side down in a skillet over medium heat. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until lightly toasted. Remove the bagels from the skillet and set aside.
- Add 1 tablespoon of butter and the onions to the skillet. Sauté for 2 to 3 minutes, until the onions become translucent. Remove the onions from the skillet and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ground chuck, Worcestershire sauce, salt, garlic powder, and ground black pepper. Mix with your hands until well blended. Form the mixture into one large ball. Divide the ball in half and then in half again to create 4 equal sections. Form each section into a flat, round patty about 1/2 inch thick (they will expand slightly while cooking).
- Place the skillet over medium-high heat and cook the patties for about 3 minutes on each side, until fully cooked through. Remove the patties from the skillet. Discard the grease and wipe the skillet with a paper towel.
- Reduce the heat slightly and spray the skillet with nonstick spray. Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet and allow them to cook undisturbed for about 2 to 3 minutes. When the eggs are cooked on the bottom, use a spatula to fold the eggs over, creating a half circle. Cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, until the eggs are cooked through.
- Place 2 slices of cheese side by side over the eggs and cook until the cheese starts to melt slightly. Cut the eggs in half, creating 2 quarter circles. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, and dill. Mix well.
- To assemble the sandwiches, spread the mayonnaise mixture on all 8 faces of the toasted bagels. Add a steak patty, onions, egg, and cheese to the bottom halves of the bagels and cover with the top halves.

Recipe Tips
Expert Tips for Perfect McDonald's Bagel Sandwiches
- Temperature matters: Start with room temperature eggs for more even cooking
- Don't overwork the meat: Gently mix the seasonings into the ground beef to keep the patties tender
- Thin is in: Form the beef patties slightly larger than the bagel and thin, as they will shrink and thicken during cooking
- Mise en place: Prepare all ingredients before starting to cook, as this recipe moves quickly once you begin
- Bagel selection: Choose fresh bagels with a tight crumb for the best texture
- Cheese strategy: Place cheese on the hot eggs rather than directly on the meat for perfect melting
- Sauce consistency: The sauce should be thick enough to spread easily but not so thin it runs off the bagel
- Timing is everything: Coordinate cooking so everything finishes around the same time for optimal serving temperature
