Copycat Big Mac Burger
Juicy double patties, melty cheese, crisp lettuce, tangy pickles, and the legendary Big Mac sauce – all stacked high inside soft homemade brioche buns. This recipe makes 3 burgers, each built exactly like the fast-food classic, but with fresher, better ingredients.

Instructions
Prepare the Sauce
- Step 1
Mix mayonnaise, mustard, pickle brine, diced pickle, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
- Step 2
Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to intensify the flavor.
Shape & Cook the Patties

Flatten into thin patties, slightly larger than the buns.
- Step 5
Cook in a hot skillet or grill pan for 2–3 minutes per side.
- Step 6
Place a cheese slice on top of each patty right before removing from the heat, so it melts perfectly.

Slice and lightly toast the buns (including the extra bottoms).
- Step 8
On the bottom bun, spread Big Mac sauce, add shredded lettuce, pickles, and the first patty with cheese.
- Step 9
Place the extra bottom bun (as the middle layer) on top.
