Method

Preparing the Egg Mixture

  1. 1

    Make the Egg Mixture

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until well combined.

Cooking Fillings

  1. 2

    Cook the Chorizo and Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chorizo until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, cook the bacon until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

Assembling the Sandwich

  1. 3

    Assemble the Sandwich

    On two slices of brioche bread, layer the sliced ham, Chihuahua cheese, cooked chorizo, and bacon. Top with the remaining slices of brioche bread.

Dipping and Cooking

  1. 4

    Dip and Cook the Sandwich

    Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Dip each assembled sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated. Cook in the skillet until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Cooking the Sunny Side Egg

  1. 5

    Fry the Sunny Side Egg

    In a separate skillet, crack an egg and cook over low heat until the white is set but the yolk remains runny, about 3-4 minutes.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve the Sandwich

    Slice the Monte Cristo sandwich in half, top with the sunny side up egg, and drizzle with dulce de leche sauce before serving.
