Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Beef
In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef with salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder (6-8 minutes). Drain excess fat and set aside.
Step 2: Make the Big Mac Sauce
Whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, relish, vinegar, onion powder, and garlic powder in a small bowl until smooth. Set aside.
Step 3: Prepare the Egg Mixture
Whisk eggs, milk, and salt in a shallow bowl until well combined.
Step 4: Cook the French Toast
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Dip each bread slice in the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Repeat with all slices.
Step 5: Assemble the Big Mac French Toast
Layer three French toast slices. Spread Big Mac sauce on each. Top with cooked beef, American cheese, pickles, and lettuce. Add another French toast slice to create a sandwich. Gently press down.
Step 6: Serve
Cut each sandwich in half and serve warm. Extra Big Mac sauce for dipping is optional (but highly recommended!).
Cook Notes
- Bread Choice: Thick-sliced bread like Texas toast or brioche works best.
- Cheese: American cheese is traditional, but cheddar or Swiss are great alternatives.
- Cooking Tip: Don’t overcrowd the skillet when cooking French toast; cook in batches if needed.
