Few McDonald's items have a fan club quite like the Steak, Egg & Cheese Bagel. It disappeared from most menus in 2020, when McDonald's simplified its kitchens, and people have been asking for it ever since. Petitions, social posts, road trips to states that still had it, all for one breakfast sandwich.
So where does it stand in 2026?
