Ingredients
Scale
Bread & Egg Mixture
- 4 slices thick-cut bread (like Texas toast or brioche)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Beef & Seasoning
- 1/2 pound ground beef
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Additional Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter (for frying)
- 1/2 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/4 cup diced pickles
- 2 slices cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Thousand Island dressing (or Big Mac-style sauce)
- Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the beef: In a skillet over medium heat, season the ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned and fully cooked through, breaking it into crumbles. Once done, set the beef aside.
- Prepare the egg mixture: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until fully combined.
- Dip the bread: Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated but not overly soggy.
- Cook the French toast: Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Place the dipped bread slices onto the skillet and cook until golden brown on each side, about 2–3 minutes per side.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Lay one slice of French toast on a plate. Top it with half the cooked ground beef, a slice of cheddar cheese, shredded lettuce, diced pickles, and a drizzle of Thousand Island dressing.
- Add the second layer: Place another slice of French toast over the toppings to complete the sandwich. Repeat the assembly for the second sandwich.
- Garnish and serve: Optionally, sprinkle sesame seeds on top for an authentic Big Mac bun look. Serve the sandwiches warm and enjoy.
Notes
- For a more indulgent sandwich, add a second layer of beef and cheese in the middle to mimic the classic Big Mac structure.
- To enhance authenticity, toast the French toast slices with sesame seeds before assembling to resemble a Big Mac bun.
- You can substitute Thousand Island dressing with any preferred burger sauce to customize flavor.
- Use thick-cut brioche or Texas toast for the best texture and sturdiness in the sandwich.
