Description
Big Mac French Toast is a bold brunch mashup of diner-style French toast and fast-food burger bliss. It layers custardy bread, juicy cheeseburger patties, smoky bacon, onions, and a tangy special sauce into an irresistible sweet-savory sandwich.
Ingredients
1 pound ground beef
4 slices thick bread (Texas toast or similar)
1/2 onion, thinly sliced
2 slices American cheese
4 slices bacon, cooked
4 large eggs, beaten
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional: Big Mac–style sauce
Instructions
- Form ground beef into two large patties, slightly wider than the bread. Season with salt and pepper.
- Sauté onions in oil or bacon fat until soft and golden; set aside.
- In the same skillet, sear the patties for 3–4 minutes per side or until desired doneness. Add cheese slices during the last minute to melt. Keep warm.
- In a shallow dish, whisk eggs, cream, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Dip bread slices in custard mixture, letting excess drip off. Cook in a buttered skillet over medium heat until golden and crisp on both sides.
- Spread Big Mac–style sauce on inside of bread (if using).
- Build sandwiches: place a patty on a slice of French toast, add bacon and onions, then top with another slice. Serve hot.
- Optional: Deep-fry sandwiches at 350°F (175°C) for 45–90 seconds for extra crunch. Drain and serve.
Notes
Add shredded lettuce and pickle chips after cooking for a Big Mac flavor boost.
Swap beef for turkey, sausage, or plant-based patties for variety.
Use brioche or sourdough bread; sprinkle sesame seeds on custard-dipped bread before cooking.
Make it spicy with cayenne or smoked paprika in the custard.
Create a “double-decker” with a middle slice of French toast and extra sauce.
