RECIPE:
Cut 2 6" inch sections from a good quality French baguette. Slice lengthways but don't cut all the way through.
Pickled Carrot:
1 carrot shredded
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
1 small Persian cucumber cut into thin strips
1 1" thick slice of peeled jicama cut into thin strips
3 eggs whisked
1 tablespoon olive oil
6 slices of bacon
1 jalapeño sliced very thin
6 cilantro stems and leaves
First pickle the carrot. Put the shredded carrot in a bowl. Stir the fish sauce, soy sauce and sugar together in a small bowl until the sugar dissolves and pour this over the shredded carrot, mix well and refrigerate for an hour.
Cook the 6 pieces of bacon until crisp, drain on a paper towel. In a small fry pan make an omelette with the eggs, heat the oil, cook the eggs until firm, flip and cook the other side only for a minute or two. Slice the omelette in half. Now you are ready to assemble the sandwiches. Open the baguettes and place 1/2 omelette in each, next add 3 pieces bacon to each, some pickled carrot, cucumber, jicama and jalapeño slices. Top with cilantro and drizzle over any remaining pickle juice from the carrot.
