Instructions
1. Cook the Beef:
In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef with salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder (about 6-8 minutes). Drain any excess grease and set aside.
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.
3. Prepare the Egg Mixture:
In a shallow dish, whisk eggs, milk, and salt until well combined.
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 until all bread is cooked.
5. Assemble the Big Mac French Toast:
Layer three French toast slices. Spread Big Mac sauce on each. Top with cooked beef, cheese, pickles, and lettuce. Place another French toast slice on top to create a sandwich. Gently press down.
6. Serve and Enjoy!
Cut each sandwich in half and serve immediately. Add extra Big Mac sauce for dipping, if desired!
Cook’s Notes
- Thick-cut bread like Texas toast or brioche is best for holding all the delicious fillings.
