### Instructions:
#### 2. **Prepare the French Toast:**
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the **eggs**, **milk**, **vanilla extract**, and **cinnamon** (if using). Make sure the mixture is well-blended. Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated. Let the excess egg mixture drip off before placing the bread on a plate.
#### 3. **Cook the French Toast:**
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add **1 tablespoon of butter**. Once the butter is melted and bubbling, cook the soaked slices of bread one at a time, cooking for about **2-3 minutes per side** or until golden brown and crispy. Once cooked, remove the French toast from the skillet and set it aside.
#### 4. **Cook the Beef:**
In the same skillet, add **1 tablespoon of olive oil**. Add the **ground beef** and cook over medium heat, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Season with **salt**, **pepper**, **garlic powder**, and **onion powder**. Cook until the beef is fully browned and cooked through, about **5-7 minutes**. Once cooked, stir in the **ketchup** and **mustard** to give the beef that classic Big Mac flavor. Stir well and remove from heat.
#### 5. **Assemble the Big Mac French Toast:**
To assemble the Big Mac French Toast, take one slice of French toast and spread a generous amount of **Big Mac special sauce** on top. Next, layer on the **cooked beef mixture**, followed by a **slice of American cheese**, allowing the warmth of the beef to melt the cheese. Add a handful of **shredded lettuce**, a few **pickle slices**, and some finely chopped **onions** (if desired). Top with a second slice of French toast and press down gently to hold everything together.
#### 6. **Serve and Enjoy:**
Serve your **Big Mac French Toast** immediately, garnished with extra pickles, lettuce, or onions if desired. For an extra touch, you can drizzle a little more special sauce on top.
