For the Burger Layers:

• ½ onion, thinly sliced
• 2 slices American cheese (or cheddar)
• 4 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked crispy
• Salt and black pepper to taste

• 4 slices thick white bread (brioche or Texas toast)
• 4 large eggs
• ½ cup heavy cream
• ½ cup milk
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Butter or oil for frying

 Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Beef Patties

1. Divide the ground beef into two equal portions and shape into wide, flat patties.
2. Season with salt and pepper.
3. In a skillet over medium-high heat, sear each patty for about 3–4 minutes per side until cooked through and browned.
4. Add cheese on top during the last minute of cooking so it melts perfectly.
5. Set aside on a plate.

Step 2: Caramelize the Onions

1. In the same skillet, sauté the thinly sliced onions over medium heat.
2. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden brown.
3. Set aside.

Step 3: Make the French Toast

1. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
2. Dip each slice of bread in the egg mixture, making sure both sides are soaked.
3. In a skillet or griddle over medium heat, melt butter or add oil.
4. Cook the bread slices until golden brown and crispy, about 3 minutes per side.
5. Set aside and keep warm.

Step 4: Assemble the Big Mac French Toast

1. Lay one slice of French toast on a plate.
2. Spread Big Mac sauce (optional but recommended) on the inside.
3. Add one beef patty with melted cheese.
4. Top with caramelized onions and two slices of crispy bacon.
5. Close with another slice of French toast.
6. Repeat for the second sandwich.
