The shakeup of McDonalds breakfast menu is one byproduct of the pandemic many people are still displeased with. For one, its All-day availability is gone, and for another, it has been simplified to exclude some of the most beloved items. But there might be signs that the chain is righting the course on breakfast.
One of the most mourned discontinued items in 2020 were the chains bagels, but they are finally back at select locations. As of now, the bagels have been spotted in Ohio, Virginia, and Philadelphia.
The new release includes a lineup of four bagel-centric breakfast sandwiches that have returned for a limited time in July. The items include the Bacon, the Egg & Cheese; the Sausage, Egg & Cheese, the Egg & Cheese Bagel, and, of course, the highly anticipated Steak, Egg & Cheese sandwich, according to Fox 8 News.6254a4d1642c605c54bf1cab17d50f1e
Whether fans can expect a national rollout anytime soon is unclear. However, McDonalds has alluded to bringing the famous Steak, Egg & Cheese sandwich back last year on Twitter, so it could be something to look forward to.
And Mickey Ds knows fans are tired of waiting. Right now, 25,000 people have petitioned to have the Steak, Egg, & Cheese sandwich back on the menu. All the same, while the bagels have made a comeback, All-day breakfast may never grace the permanent menu again.
In June of 2020, the National Owners Association, a group of about 80% of franchised locations, voted “no” to bringing back McDonalds breakfast all day, saying streamlining operations and quicker turnarounds were more important. So while all-day is off the table, McDonalds is open to bringing back some popular breakfast items, if only for a limited time–just dont expect to be able to eat them at noon.

Step one: Prepare the breakfast sauce. Mix together mayonnaise, mustard, and dill. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Step two: Onions – Add a tablespoon of butter to pan over medium heat. Add sliced onions. Stir and cook until onions start to turn slightly brown. Carefully remove onions and transfer to a plate or a bowl.
Step two: Put shaved steak in a bowl. Add Worcestershire sauce and Montreal steak seasoning. Toss to coat the steak.
Step three: Eggs – Add another tablespoon of butter to skillet or griddle. Cook beaten eggs to scramble. Divide into two for the sandwiches.
Step four: Steak -Add last tablespoon of butter to skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place shaved steak on the skillet. Stir and cook until just browned. Add cooked onions back in with the steak.
