Three different bagel sandwiches reappeared at some McDonald’s locations.
About three years after they disappeared from menus nationwide, three types of breakfast bagel sandwiches are reappearing on McDonald’s menus: Steak, Egg & Cheese, Bacon, Egg & Cheese, and Sausage, Egg & Cheese. Here’s a little bit about each sandwich:
- The Steak, Egg & Cheese Bagel is a breakfast sandwich that consists of a freshly toasted bagel with real butter, a steak patty, a folded egg, two slices of American cheese, and grilled onions.
- The Bacon, Egg & Cheese Bagel includes a toasted bagel with real butter, thick-cut applewood-smoked bacon, a folded egg, and two slices of American cheese.
- The Sausage, Egg & Cheese Bagel features a freshly toasted bagel with real butter, a pork sausage patty, a folded egg, and two slices of American cheese.

McDonald’s bagel sandwiches are only being served in select markets.
The bagel sandwiches are available at participating McDonald’s locations in select markets, most of which are on the East Coast of U.S. There are reports of the bagel sandwiches in Columbus, Chicago, Tampa Bay, Washington D.C., New York City, and parts of New England. Availability may vary by location, and the bagels are a limited-time offer.
The West Coast seems to be a McBagel desert, with McDonald’s locations in Boise, Portland, and San Francisco reporting that the sandwiches aren’t in their areas.
Although the sandwiches are said to be a limited-time offer in select markets, McDonald’s did tweet back in 2021 that they’re “working on when and how to bring back the Steak, Egg and Cheese Bagels.”
