Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Beef Patties

- Season with salt and pepper.
- In a skillet over medium-high heat, sear each patty for about 3–4 minutes per side until cooked through and browned.

- Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden brown.
- Set aside.
Step 3: Make the French Toast
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Dip each slice of bread in the egg mixture, making sure both sides are soaked.
- In a skillet or griddle over medium heat, melt butter or add oil.
- Cook the bread slices until golden brown and crispy, about 3 minutes per side.
- Set aside and keep warm.
Step 4: Assemble the Big Mac French Toast
- Lay one slice of French toast on a plate.
- Spread Big Mac sauce (optional but recommended) on the inside.
- Add one beef patty with melted cheese.
- Top with caramelized onions and two slices of crispy bacon.
