Ingredients

  • 1/2 baguette, split lengthwise (about 9¾ in)
  • 1/4 lb minced beef
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped red chilli, or 1 tsp chilli sauce, plus more to serve
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil or butter
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise, to serve
  • Ketchup or chilli sauce, to serve (optional)

Method

  1. Beat the eggs in a bowl with salt and pepper. Stir in the minced beef, onion, and chilli and mix until evenly combined, breaking up the meat.
  2. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Pour in the egg and beef mixture and spread it out to roughly the size of the bread.
  3. Cook for 2 minutes until the egg begins to set underneath. Lay the cut sides of the baguette down onto the mixture and press gently so they stick.
  4. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes more until the egg is set and lightly browned and the beef is cooked through.
  5. Flip the whole sandwich over carefully, toast the crust side for 30 seconds, then transfer to a board.
  6. Spread or drizzle with mayonnaise and extra chilli sauce or ketchup if liked, cut into thick slices, and serve hot.
