Instructions

  1. 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.

  2. Step 2

    Slice the 1 baguette lengthwise, leaving one side attached. Spread 2 tbsp mayonnaise on both cut sides.

  3. 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.

  4. Step 4

    Warm the 4 ham slices in the same skillet over medium heat for 1 minute per side, until lightly browned.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. Step 7

    Slice in half and enjoy immediately.
