If you slather the 563-calorie Big Mac in egg yolk, cover it in bread crumbs and drop it in the deep fryer for a few minutes, you've got quite the questionable treat.

A fast food enthusiast posted the list of instructions and ingredients online, loading about 1,000 calories to McDonald's signature burger.

Food blogger Jeremy told the Daily Mail, "I was inspired to make the deep fried Big Mac because Big Macs are the only thing I like from McDonald's and everyone knows deep fried is always better."
