Ingredients
- For the burger:
- 1 lb ground beef
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 slices of cheddar cheese
- Lettuce
- Dill pickles
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- For the sauce:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 4 tsp sweet pickle relish
- 2 tbsp yellow mustard
- 1 tsp white wine vinegar
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- For the French toast:
- 4 thick slices of brioche bread
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp butter
Instructions
- Start by making the Big Mac Sauce. In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish, yellow mustard, white wine vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Set aside.
- Preheat your pan over medium-high heat. Form the ground beef into 4 patties. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Cook the patties on the pan for about 3-4 minutes each side or until desired doneness. Add a slice of cheese on each patty, let it melt slightly, and then set aside.
- Now, for the French toast. Whisk together eggs, milk, and vanilla extract in a shallow dish. Soak the brioche slices in the egg mixture until fully absorbed.
- In a non-stick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the soaked brioche and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Assemble the Big Mac French Toast. On one slice of French toast, spread a generous amount of the sauce, add the lettuce, the cheesy patty, some onion, and dill pickles. Top with another slice of French toast. Repeat with the rest of the ingredients.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the tastiest fusion of breakfast and fast food you’ve ever experienced!
Remember, this is a flexible recipe. You can tweak it based on your preference, maybe add some bacon or use a different type of cheese. It’s all up to you! Enjoy this savory and sweet delight, a perfect weekend brunch, or a comforting dinner. You’ve now combined two great foods into one – the Big Mac and the French Toast. Bon appétit!
