Best Open Faced Breakfast Banh Mi Recipes

FRIED EGG BáNH Mì

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and fish sauce.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until the foam subsides. Break 2 eggs into the pan. Season them with salt and pepper and reduce the heat to low.
• Cook the eggs slowly until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Transfer to a plate and keep warm. Repeat the process with 3 more tablespoons of butter and the remaining 6 eggs.
• Spread the remaining 2 tablespoons butter on the baguettes. Place the baguettes on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for 10 minutes. Season the cucumber, jalapeños, and carrots with salt and pepper to taste.
• To build the bánh mì, spread each baguette half with the fish sauce mayonnaise, then top with 2 eggs, some of the vegetables, a few cilantro sprigs, and Sriracha, if desired. Serve immediately.

CHICKEN BANH MI

Steps:

• 1. Combine the vinegar, 1 cup water, sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Soak the carrots in the vinegar brine for at least 30 minutes.
• 2. Place the chicken breasts in a small saucepan with just enough water to cover. Add 1/4 cup soy sauce and 3 sprigs cilantro and bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer, about 18 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, uncover, and cool the chicken in the liquid, about 30 minutes. Tear the chicken into shreds and toss with 1/3 cup mayonnaise, Sriracha, and the remaining 1 tablespoon soy sauce.
• 3. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Slice the baguettes lengthwise, leaving a hinge intact. Spread mayonnaise on both sides of the bread. Add the chicken and toast, open faced, 5 to 8 minutes. Drain the carrots. Add the carrots, cucumbers, and cilantro leaves to each sandwich and serve immediately.

BREAKFAST BANH MI RECIPE

Steps:

• To Make the Pickled Carrots and Daikon : combine carrots, daikon, salt, and sugar in a small bowl and toss to coat. Allow to rest 10 minutes until liquid has been drawn out of vegetables and salt and sugar are completely dissolved. Add vinegar and water and transfer to small, sealable container. Let sit at room temperature for 1 hour, or for best results, allow pickled to rest for at least 3 days in the refrigerator.
• Preheat oven or toaster oven to 400°F. Cook bacon in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-low heat until crisp and rendered, flipping once halfway through cooking, about 10 minutes total. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate (leave bacon grease in skillet).
• Increase heat to medium high and heat until bacon fat starts lightly smoking. Add eggs, immediately reduce heat to medium, and cook, spooning hot bacon fat over egg tops as they cook until set to desired consistency (I like my yolks runny and white edges crisp). Transfer eggs to paper towel-lined plate with bacon.
• Toast bread in oven or toaster oven until hot and crisp, about 3 minutes. Split in half lengthwise, leaving a hinge. Spread both sides with mayonnaise and a few dashes of Maggi seasoning. Layer bacon strips along bottom and top with eggs. Top with pickled carrots and daikon, cucumber slice, cilantro sprigs, and chiles. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
