Instructions

Prepare the beef patties: In a bowl, combine the ground beef with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well, then shape the mixture into 4 thin square patties roughly the size of the bread slices. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the patties for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until browned and fully cooked through. Set aside once done.
Make the special sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, sweet pickle relish, yellow mustard, onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika. Cover and refrigerate the sauce until you are ready to assemble the sandwiches.
Prepare the French toast: In another bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together until fully blended. Dip each slice of sandwich bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated. Heat butter in a skillet or griddle over medium heat and cook the dipped bread slices for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp. Remove from heat.
Assemble the sandwiches: Place one slice of French toast on a plate and spread a spoonful of the special sauce evenly over it. Layer with a cooked beef patty, a slice of cheddar cheese, shredded lettuce, diced onion, and three dill pickle chips. Top with another slice of French toast to complete the sandwich. Repeat these steps to assemble the remaining sandwiches.
Serve: Serve the Big Mac French Toast Sandwiches warm, optionally accompanied by extra special sauce on the side for dipping or spreading.

Notes

For a richer and more indulgent version, substitute sandwich bread with brioche or Texas toast.
You can prepare the beef patties and special sauce in advance to save time during breakfast or brunch.
To customize, add extra toppings like tomato slices or use different types of cheese for varied flavor.
Cooking times can vary based on skillet type and stove, so adjust as necessary to avoid burning.
