Sunny Side Egg on Baguette (Low-Calorie)
A single sunny side up egg on toasted baguette with soy sauce, quick-pickled carrot, cucumber and cilantro. Butter and oil are used sparingly to fry the egg, keeping the plate light while preserving the runny yolk and crusty bread contrast central to Vietnamese street breakfasts.

Instructions
1
Prep
Julienne the carrot and toss with rice vinegar and sugar. Set aside to quick-pickle for 10 minutes until slightly softened and tangy.
2
Fry
Heat the vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat until shimmering. Crack the egg into the skillet and fry for 2 to 3 minutes until the white is fully set but the yolk stays runny.
3
Build
Split the baguette and toast the cut sides in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes until crisp and golden. Layer cilantro and cucumber on the base, top with the fried egg, scatter the drained pickled carrot over it, and drizzle with soy sauce.
4
Plate
Add a pinch of black pepper and close the baguette over the filling. Serve immediately while warm and the yolk is still runny.
