Bacon and Egg Sandwiches with Spicy Pickled Daikon and Carrots image

This spin on the classic breakfast sandwich takes inspiration from banh mi, a French-influenced Vietnamese sandwich. While banh mi can be made with a variety of fillings, bacon and egg is not traditional. This version does include do chua, the pickled daikon and carrot that's typical of a banh mi, but it's a quick version and gets a kick of heat from jalape​​ño.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup shredded carrots
1 cup shredded peeled daikon radish
1 jalapeño pepper, thinly sliced (remove seeds for less heat)
1/4 cup rice vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
6 slices bacon
4 6-inch crusty French bread rolls, split open
1/2 English cucumber, thinly sliced lengthwise
8 large eggs
1 cup fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler. Toss the carrots, daikon, jalapeño, vinegar, sugar, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl; set aside.
  • Cook the bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, turning, until crisp, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove to a plate. Arrange the rolls cut-side up on a baking sheet. Drizzle the bottom halves with some of the bacon drippings; reserve the skillet. Broil the rolls until golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Top with the cucumber slices. Halve the bacon slices and divide among the rolls.
  • Heat the reserved skillet with any remaining drippings over medium-high heat. Working in batches, crack in the eggs and cook until the whites are crisp around the edges and the yolks are still runny, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Divide among the roll halves.
  • Add the cilantro to the pickled vegetable mixture and toss. Top each sandwich with some of the pickled vegetables and their juices.
