  • Bread2 rolls
  • Lettuce1 leaf
  • Tomatoes1 medium
  • Ham100 g
  • Mozzarella100 g
  • Bacon100 g

Instructions

  1. Tenderize and Cook Beef Brisket

    15 min

    Begin by gently tenderizing the beef brisket using a meat mallet or rolling pin, aiming for a thickness of about 1/2 inch. Heat a griddle or skillet over medium-high heat and cook the brisket for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side, or until it develops a nice golden-brown crust. Ensure that the meat is cooked through and tender before removing it from the heat.

  2. Fry Bacon, Ham, and Egg

    15 min

    In a separate skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy, which should take about 4-5 minutes. Once the bacon is done, add the ham and fry for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through. Finally, crack the egg into the pan and cook it sunny-side up or to your preferred doneness, about 2-3 minutes.

  3. Slice the Bread

    2 min

    Take the bread rolls and carefully slice them in half horizontally, ensuring you don't cut all the way through. This will create a pocket to hold all your delicious fillings.

  4. Assemble the Sandwich

    6 min

    Start layering the sandwich by placing the cooked beef brisket on the bottom half of the bread. Next, add the fried egg, followed by the crispy bacon, ham, and slices of mozzarella. Top with chopped tomato and a fresh leaf of lettuce for crunch and color.

  5. Top Off and Serve

    2 min

    Gently place the top half of the bread over the assembled fillings to create a complete sandwich. Serve immediately while everything is warm and inviting, ensuring each bite is full of flavor.
