Sandwich Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Aioli

    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Potatoes

    Peel and cut the potatoes into wedges. Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and fry until golden and crispy, about 15-20 minutes.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Onions

    Slice the onion and sauté in a skillet over medium heat until translucent and golden, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Steak

    Thinly shave the filet steak. In the same skillet, increase the heat and quickly sear the steak for 2-3 minutes until browned. Season with salt and pepper.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Slice the Brioche rolls and spread the aioli on both sides. Layer with steak, sautéed onions, Havarti, Gouda, sliced tomato, and avocado.

  6. 6

    Cook the Eggs

    In a separate pan, fry the eggs over easy. Place one egg on top of each sandwich.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the sandwiches hot with a side of crispy fried potatoes.
