Unfortunately, McDonald’s has temporarily removed the McDonald’s Steak, Egg & Cheese Bagel from their menu during the pandemic. Reputedly, McDonald’s had to make that decision in order to simplify store procedures and supply chains and this means each restaurant will stock fewer goods.

In turn, it makes the restaurant chain easier to operate with difficulties during the pandemic. It’s because the McDonald’s breakfast recipe requires many different ingredients.
