Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large baguette, about 12 inches long
- 250 grams ground beef
- 3 large eggs
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
- Cook the ground beef with chopped onion and minced garlic until fully browned. Season with salt and black pepper. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked beef mixture with the eggs and stir until evenly incorporated.
- Slice the baguette lengthwise without cutting all the way through.
- Spread mayonnaise and chili sauce evenly inside the bread.
- Pour the beef and egg mixture evenly into the baguette and sprinkle shredded cheese generously on top.
- Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the skillet over medium heat.
- Place the filled baguette into the skillet and cook until the egg sets and the bottom becomes golden brown.
- Carefully flip the sandwich, adding the remaining butter as needed, and cook until the other side is crisp and the cheese is fully melted.
- Remove from heat, let rest for 1 minute, slice into portions, and serve warm.
Notes
- Cook the beef mixture until excess moisture evaporates to prevent soggy bread.
- Use medium heat to ensure the bread crisps without burning.
- Let the sandwich rest briefly before slicing to keep the filling intact.
