Instructions
- Prepare the roasted bacon: Line one or two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper and preheat oven to 400. Lay bacon strips on a prepared baking sheet. In a small sauce pan, combine honey, coriander, a and cayenne and head over medium heat until just melted. Use a pastry brush to spread honey mixture over bacon. Roast bacon for 10 minutes, then sprinkle sesame seeds over bacon. Roast an additional 10 minutes until crisp. Transfer bacon to a cooling rack and set aside. (Times may vary depending on fattiness of bacon.)
- Prepare the slaw: In a large bowl, combine Napa cabbage, purple cabbage, carrots, and cilantro. In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, garlic, sesame seeds, and red pepper flakes. Pour over vegetables and toss until well combined. Set aside.
- Prepare the guacamole: In a medium bowl, mash avocados with lime juice and rice vinegar until chunky-smooth. Stir in scallions, cilantro, toasted sesame oil, sesame seeds and salt, until combined.
- Assemble the sandwiches” Divide guacamole among the baguettes, spreading evenly over one side. Add a heaping scoop of slaw to each. Place 3 slices bacon in each sandwich, and fill each with sliced egg. Cut in half and serve.
Additional Inspirations: This sandwich can be enjoyed any time of day and with any protein. Try tossing chicken or beef into the spicy honey mixture and sautéing until cooked. You can also serve the toasted sesame guac on its own with rice crisps for an Asian-inspired dip.
