Instructions

Prepare egg mixture: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and salt until fully combined. This mixture will create the custardy coating for the bread slices to make the French toast.
Soak bread: Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated but not overly saturated to avoid sogginess.
Cook French toast: Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt the butter or heat the oil. Fry the coated bread slices for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until they become golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
Cook beef patties: In a separate pan over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef patties for 3 to 4 minutes per side or until they are fully cooked through and browned on the outside.
Assemble sandwiches: Place one slice of the cooked French toast on a plate. On top, layer one beef patty, one slice of American cheese, shredded lettuce, diced onions, dill pickle slices, and drizzle with Big Mac-style sauce. Top with another slice of French toast to complete the sandwich.
Serve: Repeat the assembly process for the second sandwich and serve both warm for the best flavor and texture experience.

Notes

For authentic Big Mac flavor, mix your own sauce using mayo, ketchup, mustard, relish, vinegar, and a pinch of sugar.
You can substitute turkey or plant-based patties as a healthier or vegetarian alternative.
Use brioche bread for extra richness and a buttery flavor.
Serve with a side of crispy fries or fresh fruit to balance the meal.
