Hey there, foodies! Today I’m absolutely thrilled to share one of my favorite Vietnamese breakfast recipes that’ll make you forget all about your basic avocado toast (sorry not sorry!). Let me introduce you to Bánh Mì Ốp La – a mouthwatering Vietnamese breakfast sandwich that’s basically a flavor explosion in your mouth!
Y’all, this isn’t just any ordinary breakfast sandwich. Trust me, once you try this, you’ll be making it every weekend – and maybe even on weekdays when you’re feeling fancy!
What you’ll need (serves 2):
– 2 Vietnamese baguettes (crispy outside, fluffy inside)
– 4 eggs
– Maggi seasoning sauce (this is crucial, don’t skip it!)
– Vietnamese pâté
– Pickled carrots and daikon
– Fresh cilantro
– Cucumber slices
– Butter
– Salt and pepper to taste

Now, let’s get cooking!
1. First, slice your baguettes lengthwise but don’t cut all the way through. Butter them up generously (calories don’t count at breakfast, right?) and pop them in the toaster oven until golden and crispy.
1. While your bread is toasting, heat up a non-stick pan over medium heat. Girl, make sure that pan is hot but not smoking!
1. Crack those eggs into the pan (I like mine sunny-side up, but you do you!). Season with salt and pepper, and cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still gloriously runny.
1. Now comes the fun part – assembly time! Spread a generous layer of pâté on your toasted baguette. Layer in the cucumber slices, and add a handful of pickled carrots and daikon.
1. Carefully place those beautiful eggs on top (don’t break those yolks!), and drizzle with Maggi sauce. Top with fresh cilantro.
Pro tip: Wrap the bottom half in paper or napkin because honey, this sandwich can get messy – but that’s part of the fun!
The combination of the crispy baguette, creamy eggs, tangy pickled veggies, and that umami-packed Maggi sauce is absolutely divine. It’s the perfect balance of flavors and textures that’ll have you doing a happy dance in your kitchen!
