There’s nothing quite like waking up to the aromatic blend of Vietnamese spices and fresh herbs wafting through your kitchen! Ladies (and gents), let me share my absolute favorite Vietnamese breakfast recipe that’ll make you feel like you’re dining in a cozy street café in Hanoi – Bánh Mì Trứng (Vietnamese Breakfast Sandwich with Eggs).
Y’all, I can’t even tell you how many times this recipe has saved my morning, especially after those nights when I maybe had one too many glasses of wine with the girls! 😉
Let’s get cooking, shall we?
What You’ll Need:
– 2 Vietnamese baguettes (crispy outside, fluffy inside)
– 4 eggs
– Pâté (trust me on this one!)
– Cucumber slices
– Pickled carrots and daikon
– Fresh cilantro
– Jalapeños (if you’re feeling spicy like me)
– Maggi sauce
– Mayo
– Salt and pepper to taste
First things first, honey – let’s pickle those veggies! Mix shredded carrots and daikon with rice vinegar, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Let them sit and do their thing while we prep everything else.
Now, here’s where the magic happens (and where I’ve definitely burned myself more times than I’d like to admit):
1. Slice your baguette lengthwise
2. Toast it until golden brown (don’t you dare walk away – it burns fast!)
3. Scramble those eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper
4. Spread a generous layer of pâté on one side of the bread
5. Add your perfectly scrambled eggs
6. Layer on those pickled veggies, cucumber slices, and cilantro
7. Drizzle with Maggi sauce and mayo
8. Top with jalapeños if you’re feeling adventurous
Oh my word, just writing this is making me hungry! 🤤
