In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, garlic powder, and salt. - Cook the French Toast:
Heat butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat. Dip each slice of bread into the batter, ensuring both sides are coated but not soggy. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. - Assemble the Big Mac French Toast:
- Spread a generous amount of Big Mac sauce on one side of each French toast slice.
- On one slice, layer shredded lettuce, pickles, a cooked patty with cheese, diced onions, and more sauce.
