Ready to level-up your morning routine? Consider this classic Vietnamese sandwich, which Houston-based chef Chris Shepherd profiles in his new book, Cook Like a Local. It’s just one of three BEC upgrades I wrote about recently.

You can set yourself up for a full week of breakfast bánh mì by making a big batch of the fish sauce–spiked mayo and tossing together a salad of sliced cucumber, carrots and jalapeños over the weekend. Salting the salad a few days in advance will allow it to develop some real flavor; you can also, of course, pickle it instead.

Have an eggscellent morning,
