Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 2 ounces brewed espresso
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 8 slices center cut bacon
- cracked black pepper
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 2 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 small shallot (minced)
- 1/2 fresno chile (seeded and minced)
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
- 1 tablespoon chopped oregano
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 brioche-style rolls
- 1/2 avocado (sliced)
- 4 fried eggs (cooked to your preference)
Instruction
- Heat the oven to 325ºF. Set a metal rack on top of a rimmed baking sheet.
- In a small saucepan, bring the espresso and maple syrup to a simmer over medium heat. Stir in the cayenne pepper. Working with once piece of bacon at a time, dip the bacon into the glaze then spread on the baking rack. Repeat with remaining bacon, arranging the slices in a single layer. Sprinkle with racked black pepper. Bake 20 minutes. Flip the sliced over and brush with additional glaze. Bake another 15 minutes, or until crisp and dark brown.
- While the bacon cooks, prepare the chimichurri sauce. Combine the red wine vinegar, shallot, garlic, and chile pepper in a small bowl; let stand 10 minutes. Stir in the cilantro, parsley, oregano, and olive oil. Season to taste with salt.
- To prepare the sandwiches, spread 1 tablespoon of chimichurri onto the bottom half of each roll. Top with two slices of bacon, 1-2 slices of avocado, and a fried egg. Cover with the top of the roll. Serve with additional chimichurri, as desired.
