Oh. My. Goodness. Y’all, let me tell you about this absolutely divine Vietnamese breakfast that’s been living in my head rent-free since I first tried it! If you’re tired of your basic avocado toast (no shade, but let’s level up!), this Bánh Mì Trứng (Vietnamese Breakfast Sandwich) is about to become your new morning obsession.
Listen, honey, I’ve had my fair share of breakfast sandwiches, but this one? This one hits different! The combination of crusty Vietnamese baguette, perfectly fried eggs with runny yolks (because we’re fancy like that), pickled vegetables, and a secret sauce that’ll make your taste buds dance – it’s pure breakfast magic! 💃
Here’s what you’ll need (trust me on these ingredients):
– 1 Vietnamese baguette (crispy outside, fluffy inside)
– 2 farm-fresh eggs (treat yourself!)
– Pickled carrots and daikon radish
– Fresh cucumber slices
– Cilantro (I know some of y’all have that soap gene, but try to push through)
– Maggi sauce (the secret weapon!)
– Pâté (optional, but highly recommended)
– Mayo
– Fresh jalapeños (if you’re feeling spicy like me)

Now, let’s get cooking (and I’ll try not to get too distracted telling you about my cooking fails 😅):
1. First things first, slice that baguette lengthwise. Toast it until it’s golden brown – we want that CRUNCH!
1. While your bread is toasting, heat up a non-stick pan (medium heat, we’re not trying to start a fire here).
1. Crack those eggs like you mean it! I like mine sunny-side up, but you do you, boo. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
1. Now, let’s build this beauty! Spread mayo on both sides of the bread (be generous, we’re not counting calories today).
1. Add a layer of pâté if you’re using it (highly recommend for that extra oomph).
1. Layer on your perfectly cooked eggs, pickled veggies, cucumber slices, and cilantro.
1. Here comes the magic – drizzle that Maggi sauce like you’re making art. Trust me, this stuff is EVERYTHING!
Pro tip: If your egg yolk isn’t running down your arms while eating this, you’re doing it wrong! 😉
Y’all, this breakfast is seriously gonna change your life! It’s the perfect balance of creamy, crunchy, tangy, and savory. Plus, it’s totally Instagram-worthy (because if you didn’t post it, did you even make it?).
I’d love to hear how this recipe turned out for you! Drop a comment below and let me know if you’re team runny yolk or if you prefer your eggs fully cooked (no judgment… okay, maybe a little 😜).
