Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Slice the baguette in half lengthwise and pull out some interior crumb to make room for filling.

  2. Step 2

    Mix mayo and soy sauce together, then spread evenly on both cut sides of the baguette.

  3. Step 3

    Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.

  4. Step 4

    Crack eggs into the skillet and fry until whites are set but yolks still jiggle slightly, 3–4 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Layer pickled vegetables, fresh herbs, and jalapeño on the bottom half of the baguette.

  6. Step 6

    Top with the fried eggs, close the sandwich, cut in half, and serve immediately.
