Cook Time 40 minutes
Total Time 40 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 2 ounces brewed espresso
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 8 slices center cut bacon
  • cracked black pepper
  • ¼ cup red wine vinegar
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 small shallot minced
  • ½ fresno chile seeded and minced
  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
  • 1 tablespoon chopped oregano
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 brioche-style rolls
  • ½ avocado sliced
  • 4 fried eggs cooked to your preference

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 325ºF. Set a metal rack on top of a rimmed baking sheet.
  • In a small saucepan, bring the espresso and maple syrup to a simmer over medium heat. Stir in the cayenne pepper. Working with once piece of bacon at a time, dip the bacon into the glaze then spread on the baking rack. Repeat with remaining bacon, arranging the slices in a single layer. Sprinkle with racked black pepper. Bake 20 minutes. Flip the sliced over and brush with additional glaze. Bake another 15 minutes, or until crisp and dark brown.
  • While the bacon cooks, prepare the chimichurri sauce. Combine the red wine vinegar, shallot, garlic, and chile pepper in a small bowl; let stand 10 minutes. Stir in the cilantro, parsley, oregano, and olive oil. Season to taste with salt.
  • To prepare the sandwiches, spread 1 tablespoon of chimichurri onto the bottom half of each roll. Top with two slices of bacon, 1-2 slices of avocado, and a fried egg. Cover with the top of the roll. Serve with additional chimichurri, as desired.
