Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 4 slices thick sliced bread Thick bread holds up best.
  • 1/2 cup onion, sliced thin
  • 2 slices American Cheese Can substitute with Cheddar, Swiss, or Provolone.
  • 4 slices bacon, cooked Cook bacon to crisp for texture.
  • 4 large eggs, beaten Use room-temperature eggs.
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder Fresh garlic = bigger flavor.
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional Big Mac sauce

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Divide the beef into two equal balls and flatten lightly into patties. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high and sauté the patties until browned and cooked through, about 3–4 minutes per side for medium.
  3. Cook the bacon until crisp and set aside on paper towels. Sauté the sliced onion in the beef pan for 4–5 minutes until soft and golden.
  4. Whisk together eggs, heavy cream, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth and slightly frothy.
  5. Dip each bread slice into the egg mixture, letting it soak briefly but not fall apart. Cook in a buttered skillet over medium heat until golden and slightly crisp on both sides, about 2–3 minutes per side.
Assembly
  1. Spread Big Mac sauce inside if using, place a beef patty on two slices, top each with a slice of cheese, two bacon strips, and the cooked onions.
  2. Finish with a piece of French toast on top and press gently. Serve hot.

Notes

Store components separately in airtight containers for up to 3 days. For a lighter option, swap American for sharp cheddar or add mustard for tang.
