Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Pound the beef brisket pieces until thin. Heat a grill or skillet and fry the meat on both sides until crispy, approximately 2–3 minutes per side. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. On the same skillet, fry the bacon until crispy, then set aside. Slice the ham and mozzarella into thin pieces. On a separate part of the skillet, fry the egg as desired (sunny side up or with a partially cooked yolk).
  3. Slice the tomato and lettuce into pieces. Cut the bread in half. On the bottom half, layer in order: the fried beef brisket, crispy bacon, ham slices, mozzarella, fried egg, tomatoes, and lettuce leaves.
  4. Cover with the top half of the bread and serve immediately. If desired, you can lightly press the sandwich and cut it diagonally.
