- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter for cooking
For the Big Mac Filling:
- 2 beef patties (about 1/4 lb each)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 slices of American cheese
- 2 tablespoons of pickles, chopped

For the Big Mac Sauce:

Instructions
- Prepare the Big Mac Sauce:
In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, ketchup, pickle relish, mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined, and set aside. - Cook the Beef Patties:
Season the beef patties with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the patties for 3-4 minutes per side, until cooked through. Place a slice of cheese on each patty and let it melt. Set the patties aside. - Make the French Toast:
In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, making sure both sides are coated. Cook each slice in the skillet for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. - Assemble the Big Mac French Toast:
Place one slice of French toast on a plate. Add a beef patty with melted cheese, a handful of shredded lettuce, chopped pickles, and onions. Drizzle generously with Big Mac sauce. Top with another slice of French toast. - Serve and Enjoy:
Cut the Big Mac French Toast in half and serve hot, with extra sauce on the side. Enjoy the delightful balance of savory and sweet in every bite!
