Ingredients You’ll Need:

- Bagels: 2 plain bagels, though everything, onion, or cheese bagels also work great.
- Steak: 1/2 pound of shaved steak to make it extra tender.
- Eggs: 4 eggs, beaten for fluffy scrambled perfection.
- Cheese: 2 slices of American cheese, though cheddar or provolone are tasty alternatives.
- Onion: 1 small onion, sliced for a touch of sweetness.
- Butter: 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter to cook your ingredients to golden perfection.
- Seasonings: 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon Montreal steak seasoning for that signature flavor, and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce for a bit of a tangy kick.
For the Sauce:
- Mayonnaise: 1/2 cup to create a creamy base.
- Mustard: 2 tablespoons for a sharp flavor contrast.
- Dill: 1/4 teaspoon dried dill for a hint of herby freshness.
Directions to Delight:
Follow these simple steps to assemble your bagel sandwiches:
- Prepare the Sauce: Mix mayonnaise, mustard, and dill in a small bowl. This can be made ahead and kept in the refrigerator until you’re ready to use it.
- Cook Onions: Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt, cooking until they’re slightly browned. Remove and set aside.
- Cook Steak: In a bowl, combine the shaved steak with Worcestershire sauce and Montreal steak seasoning. Heat another tablespoon of butter in the skillet and cook the steak until just browned. Return the onions to the skillet, mix well, and form into two piles. Top each pile with a slice of cheese and let it melt.
- Scramble Eggs: Add the last tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Pour in the beaten eggs, scrambling them and dividing into two portions for the sandwiches.
- Assemble the Bagels: Toast your bagels on a skillet or toaster until they are lightly crispy. Spread the prepared sauce on each bagel half. Layer the bottom half with scrambled eggs, then add the steak and onion mixture. Cover with the top half of the bagel.
