Step 1
Thinly slice the 1 carrot and 1/2 cup daikon into matchsticks. In a small bowl, toss with 2 tbsp rice vinegar and a pinch of salt; set aside to pickle while you prepare the rest.
Step 2
Slice the 1 baguette lengthwise, leaving one side attached. Spread 2 tbsp mayonnaise on both cut sides.
Step 3
In a bowl, beat the 4 eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat, add the eggs, and scramble until just set but still soft, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Warm the 4 ham slices in the same skillet over medium heat for 1 minute per side, until lightly browned.
Step 5
Layer the scrambled eggs, ham, pickled carrot and daikon, and 1/4 cup cilantro inside the baguette. Close the sandwich and press gently.
Step 6
Toast the assembled sandwich in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side, until the bread is crispy and golden. Serve warm.
Step 7
Slice in half and enjoy immediately.
