The Chivito

medium prep time 20 mins | cook time 10 mins | SERVINGS 4

8 slices bacon

2 beef fillet steaks (or 4 thin sliced grilled steak)

Salt (coarse, to taste)

La Fe Black Pepper (to taste)

1 to 2 tablespoons butter

4 eggs

4 sandwich buns (large, such as large ciabatta rolls)

4 tablespoons ketchup

4 tablespoons mayonnaise

La Fe Sazon

1 head of lettuce

4 slices ham (deli cut)

4 slices tomato

4 slices La Fe Mozzarella Cheese

STEP ONE

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until they are crispy. Set aside on paper towels to cool.
STEP TWO

If you’re using steaks, drain the excess bacon fat out of the skillet. Slice each fillet in half crosswise to make 2 thin steaks from each.
STEP THREE

Sprinkle with coarse salt, La Fe black pepper, and La Fe sazon. Use a mallet to pound the steaks even thinner.
STEP FOUR

Heat the skillet over medium-high heat until hot and place steaks on the skillet. Cook for about 2 minutes per side, or until they reach the desired doneness. Place on paper towels to cool.
STEP FIVE

Wipe the skillet clean. Melt the butter over medium heat and fry the eggs sunny-side up until they are done to your preference.
STEP SIX

Preheat your broiler.
STEP SEVEN

Spread the inside of the buns with ketchup and mayonnaise. Place the lettuce pieces on the bottom halves of the buns.
STEP EIGHT

Top with each sandwich with 2 slices of bacon, a slice of beef, a slice of ham, a slice of tomato, and a slice of La Fe mozzarella.
STEP NINE

Place the uncovered sandwiches under the broiler briefly to melt the cheese. Keep a close eye on the sandwiches so the cheese doesn’t burn.
STEP TEN

Remove the sandwiches from the oven and place a fried egg over the cheese, then top with the other half of the bun. Serve immediately.
