Ingredients

4 servings

11/2 cup mayonnaise
12 tablespoons fish sauce
16 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
18 large eggs
1Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
14 (6-inch) baguettes, halved lengthwise
11/2 English cucumber, seeded and thinly sliced lengthwise into strips
12 jalapeños, seeded and cut into rings
12 medium carrots, shredded
112 cilantro sprigs
1Sriracha
1for serving (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and fish sauce.
Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until the foam subsides. Break 2 eggs into the pan. Season them with salt and pepper and reduce the heat to low.
Cook the eggs slowly until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Transfer to a plate and keep warm. Repeat the process with 3 more tablespoons of butter and the remaining 6 eggs.
Spread the remaining 2 tablespoons butter on the baguettes. Place the baguettes on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for 10 minutes. Season the cucumber, jalapeños, and carrots with salt and pepper to taste.
To build the bánh mì, spread each baguette half with the fish sauce mayonnaise, then top with 2 eggs, some of the vegetables, a few cilantro sprigs, and Sriracha, if desired. Serve immediately.
