Got a few extra minutes in the morning? Well then get ready to spice up your breakfast literally with our Bánh Mì inspired toast!

This isn’t your ordinary toast, y’all. This is THE newest breakfast obsession for those who crave bold flavours, creamy textures, and a fun, flavorful start to the day. Plus, it’s super easy to make—no more hitting snooze because breakfast is too complicated. You’ll be making this one again and again, maybe even forgetting to reach for your plain avocado toast!
Let's get started!
Step 1: Prep the Marinated Egg
Start by prepping your Vietnamese marinated egg. Full Marinated Egg Recipe. The soft-boiled egg, marinated in a blend of savoury, sweet, and tangy ingredients, will add a rich depth to the toast.
Step 2: Prep the Pâté
Ingredients for the mushroom pâté:
- 1.5 shallots, minced
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small carton of cremini mushrooms (230g), roughly chopped
- 1 cup toasted walnuts
- 2.5 tbsp fish sauce (vegetarian version works too!)
- 1 tsp vegetable bouillon
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp cashew butter (or almond butter)
- Salt to taste
- Lots of cracked pepper

Dietary Tip:
If you need nut alternatives, sunflower seeds and sunflower butter work great! And if you want to skip the fish sauce, you can use soy sauce or Maggi Seasoning instead. :)
Step 3: Toast Your Bread
Toast a few slices of your favourite bread—sourdough works great here for that crunchy, chewy texture
Step 4 (Optional): Make your own pickled Carrots & Daikon ( Đồ Chua)!
Ingredients for Pickled Carrots & Daikon
- 1 carrot
- 1 white radish / daikon
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup distilled vinegar
-
2 tsp salt
