Ingredients
Scale
For the French Toast
- 4 slices of thick-cut bread (like brioche or Texas toast)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon butter
For the Sandwich Filling
- 2 beef patties (about 1/4 lb each)
- 2 slices American cheese
- 1/4 cup shredded lettuce
- 2 tablespoons chopped pickles
- 2 tablespoons diced onion
- 2 tablespoons Thousand Island dressing
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, and onion powder until fully blended and smooth. This mixture will soak into the bread to create a flavorful French toast base.
- Soak the Bread: Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated. Let any excess drip off before cooking.
- Cook the French Toast: Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Place the soaked bread slices in the skillet and cook until golden brown and firm on each side, approximately 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Cook the Beef Patties: Season the beef patties on both sides with salt and pepper. In the same skillet, increase the heat to medium-high and cook the patties for about 3 to 4 minutes per side, until they are nicely browned and cooked through.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Place one slice of cooked French toast on a plate. Top it with a beef patty, a slice of American cheese, shredded lettuce, diced onions, chopped pickles, and a drizzle of Thousand Island dressing. Repeat the layering with the second slice to make a stacked sandwich, then place the final slice of French toast on top.
- Serve: Serve the Big Mac French Toast Sandwich hot. It pairs nicely with fries or a fresh side salad for a satisfying meal.
Notes
- You can swap ground turkey or plant-based patties to make the sandwich lighter and suitable for different dietary preferences.
- For extra indulgence, double the meat and cheese layers to make a double-stacked version.
- Serve alongside fries or a side salad to complete the meal.
