Steak Egg and Cheese Bagel Recipe (2024)

Estimated reading time: 7 minutes

Ingredients

This steak egg and cheese bagel is made with simple ingredients:

• Steak – For a juicy steak patty, I recommend something like a ribeye or a New York strip. You can also used shaved steak (like my steak quesadillas) if you prefer. This is a main ingredient, so aim for quality.
• Sea salt and black pepper
• Worcestershire sauce – This is a classic seasoning for steak, and gives it traditional steak sandwich flavor.
• White onion – Use a small onion or make extra caramelized onions, they are a delicious addition to burgers, sandwiches, omelettes, etc.
• Butter – I think using real butter gives the steak, onion, and eggs great flavor, but you could also use your favorite cooking oil.
• Eggs – Use the highest quality large eggs you can for best flavor. I fry them here, but you can also use a fluffy folded egg if you prefer.
• Cheese – Use cheddar cheese, American cheese, or white American cheese. We love slices of melty American cheese on breakfast sandwiches, but it’s up to you. If your cheese is really thinly sliced, you may want to use two slices per bagel sandwich.
• Bagels – You can use plain bagels, onion bagels, or everything bagels. While I prefer bagel-shop bagels for things like a bagel and lox spread, for bagel sandwiches, I actually prefer a thinner, softer bagel so that it’s easier to eat.

How to Make Steak Egg and Cheese Bagel Recipe

This steak bagel recipe requires a bit more work than some of my breakfast recipes, it really comes down to making a few different components:

• Cut steak. Cut steak into a thin “patty” size.

• Season steak. Sprinkle with Worcestershire sauce, sea salt, and black pepper.

• Caramelize onions. In a skillet, cook butter and onions over medium heat until caramelized.

• Cook steak. Heat a tablespoon of the butter over medium high heat and add steak to skillet. Cook briefly on both sides until cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside.

TIP: The thin cut steaks will cook quickly, be careful to not overcook.
