'Greatest' McDonald's breakfast hack makes the bagels so much tastier

There’s nothing better than a McDonald’s Bagel Sandwich for breakfast and they’re finally back on the menu, but there’s one part that ruins them – the egg!

The popular item returned across most of the US earlier this year, and an ex-McDonald’s chef has revealed one genius hack which makes them so much better.

‘Greatest’ McDonald’s breakfast hack

“As you know, the Bagel Sandwiches are back at a lot of the McDonald’s restaurants in the United States,” Mike Haracz said in a viral TikTok video. “In my professional opinion, that’s pretty good but the worst egg that McDonald’s has is on this breakfast sandwich.”

He explained that the bagels include the folded egg that comes into stores frozen and already cooked, which isn’t very appetizing – but there’s an easy solution.

Did you know, you can ask for your Bacon, Egg & Cheese Bagel or Steak, Egg & Cheese Bagel with the round egg you get in McMuffins instead? Those are cooked fresh in the restaurant each day and will make it taste so much better.

However, Haracz explained that those eggs are a little small for the bagels, so the “most incredible hack” is to ask for the scrambled egg that’s on the Big Breakfast, which he said is also “made fresh in the restaurant from liquid egg”.

“It is fluffier, it is more flavorful, it is more buttery, it fills up that Bagel Sandwich better than that really cheap little folded egg thing that they give you,” he claimed.

It may cost more to get scrambled egg in your Bagel Sandwich – but it will be totally worth it!

‘It was amazing’

In the comments, people are thanking the ex-McDonald’s chef for the incredible hack which makes the bagels taste so good.

One person wrote: “I tried this hack after watching your video. It was amazing!”

“I always get the scrambled egg on it. Love it,” said another.

A third person added: “McScramble all the way. Thank you for the hack!”

“I tried this and it’s 100% better,” someone else agreed.

The Bacon, Egg and Cheese Bagel features a toasted bagel with butter, thick-cut Applewood smoked bacon, a fluffy folded egg, creamy breakfast sauce and two slices of melty American cheese.

If you prefer steak, the Steak, Egg & Cheese Bagel holds a tender, juicy steak patty, a fluffy folded egg, melty American cheese, creamy breakfast sauce and savory grilled onions.

Or, there’s a plain Egg and Cheese option with folded egg, creamy breakfast sauce and melty American Cheese.

In another video, Haracz finally revealed what the white breakfast sauce on the bagels actually is!
