Sunday Brunch with BAE: Bacon Avocado Egg Sandwich



I’m a huge fan of breakfast sandwiches, not that I actually eat them at breakfast. I actually fail at adulting because I don’t do breakfast, except for coffee and sometimes medium-soft boiled eggs. Usually, Mike and I will have something around 10 or 11, or even just start our day with lunch. It’s not that we wake up really late – on the contrary, Mike gets up insanely early (around 6) and I wake up between 7 and 8.

I’m not quite sure when I started not eating breakfast on the regular because I have really vivid memories of eating cereal as a kid. It was always Corn Pops or Cocoa Pebbles. As a teen I’d make myself a slice of dry white toast to eat while walking to school. Somehow breakfast eating fell along the wayside.

But, I’m pretty sure I can get into eating breakfast on the regular, especially if these breakfast sandwiches were on the menu. I mean, you really can’t go wrong with bacon, egg, and avocado on a soft and fluffy brioche bun. The hardest decision you’ll have to make is, do you want your avocados sliced or smashed!

Hope you guys are having an awesome Sunday!

PS – What do you think bae means? I’ve always thought of it as the first syllable in baby, but it also means poop in Danish, and could stand for “before anything else.” It’s also how my in-laws say baby in Vietnamese!

BAE: Bacon Avocado Egg Sandwich Recipemakes 1 sandwich
  • 2-3 slices thick cut bacon
  • oil, or butter for the pan
  • 2 eggs, lightly whisked
  • salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
  • 1 slice American cheese
  • 1 brioche bun
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced or slightly mashed
Cook the bacon to your liking over medium heat – I like mine extra crispy. Drain on paper towels, wipe down the pan and lightly toast your bun in the slight residual bacon fat.
In a small non stick pan, heat up a touch of butter or oil over medium heat. Lightly beat the eggs with salt and pepper and add to the pan, swirling so the entirety of the pan is covered. If needed, use a rubber spatula to move portions of the cooked egg to the center of the pan, swirling to move uncooked egg to the exposed parts of the pan. When most of the egg is cooked, add a slice of American cheese in the middle and fold into a square.
Scoop up the cheesy egg square and place on the toasted bun, topping with bacon and avocado. If you’re doing slices, you can just place them on top, if you’re going the smashed route, smash them on the top bun. Season with salt and pepper if desired, squish together and enjoy immediately.
Note: I discovered the egg and cheese technique from Smitten Kitchen and it’s amazing. The cheese forms a melty pocket of deliciousness and oozes in the most delightful way.
Smashed or sliced is personal preference. I tried it both ways and I like the overall softness of smashed but I liked the firmness of sliced, so I guess that means I’ll just have two breakfast sandwiches instead of one?

Vietnamese Fish Tacos with Quick-Pickled Carrots and Daikon

By
Vietnamese Fish Tacos with Quick-Pickled Carrots and Daikon Sometimes it feels like everyday is Taco Tuesday around these parts. I’m not complaining though – I’ll never say no to a fluffy, soft tortilla filled with deliciousness. Especially when that deliciousness is a decidedly Vietnamese take on fish tacos. The fish here is seasoned with fish sauce, sugar, and a wee bit of turmeric for a happy yellow hue. Toss it all up with some dill, tomatoes, mint, and cilantro and you’ve got a happy mash-up of Mexican and Vietnamese flavors. Vietnamese Fish Tacos with Quick-Pickled Carrots and Daikon serves 2-4 prep time: 10 minutes active time: 10 minutes total time: 20 minutes Fish: 1 lb firm white fish, such as cod 2 teaspoons fish sauce 2 teaspoons sugar 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper 1/4 teaspoon ground tumeric 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 teaspoon oil 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint 1 tablespoon sliced green onions 1...

Smoked Salmon and Avocado Summer Rolls

By
Smoked Salmon and Avocado Summer Rolls Happy Monday friends! Did you guys have a good one? We had a big ol’ Vietnamese eating and drinking party on Saturday. According to Mike, these parties are called “nhậu.” Basically a bunch of people get together, drink and consume massive amounts of beer snacks. It’s kind of like going to an izakaya in Japan, or maybe heading to the bar for happy hour, only we did it at home since there’s no such thing as a Vietnamese bar around here. Funny fact about that: almost all of the Vietnamese restaurants around here are unlicensed because some Vietnamese people get angry when they drink. Just so we’re clear, I have no idea if any of this is true, but considering this theory comes from Mike–who actually is Vietnamese–I’ll take his word for it. Plus, there’s  this pretty crazy video of some girls throwing down in a pho restaurant  that kinda sorta supports his hypothesis. No word ...

Grilled Vietnamese Pork Meatballs Recipe

By
Grilled Vietnamese Pork Meatballs Recipe It’s grilling season! Ever since  our first mini grilling session , Mike and I have been living the patio life, grilling up anything and everything in sight. We’ve been doing a lot of vegetables, and along with those, we’ve been doing the every so classic Vietnamese nem nuong. If you guys haven’t had nem nuong, you’re missing out. Juicy, perfectly grilled pork seasoned with fish sauce, garlic, pepper, and a touch of sugar. Nem nuong, or nem, which just means sausage, for short, is a staple on most Vietnamese menus. It’s a signature pink color (from food coloring) and you’ll usually see it grilled or pan-fried and served with rice or vermicelli. It comes in patties, balls, or sometimes on a skewer. Sometimes, if you’re lucky, you can order it with a ton of veggies and rice paper so you can roll up your own salad rolls. I love nem so much that it was one of the first things I learned how to say properly, instead of just sayin...
