The Bacon, Egg & Cheese Bagel is one of McDonald’s premium breakfast sandwiches — and the only one built on a toasted bagel with a signature creamy breakfast sauce. At 590 calories and 26g of protein, it delivers the highest protein count among standard bacon-based breakfast items. The sandwich features Thick-Cut Applewood Smoked Bacon, a folded egg, two slices of American cheese (not one, like the McMuffins and biscuits), and real butter — all on a warm, dense bagel. What sets the bagel sandwich apart from the rest of the McDonald’s breakfast menu is the creamy breakfast sauce — a tangy, slightly sweet condiment that adds richness you won’t find on any McMuffin, biscuit, or McGriddles. McDonald’s Corporation (NYSE: MCD) offers bagel sandwiches at participating U.S. locations — availability can vary regionally, as not all 13,400+ restaurants carry the bagel lineup. It’s worth confirming availability through the McDonald’s App before visiting.
