- What it do chat.
My name is Ross Pineda, chef and owner of Fire Kitchen.
And welcome to another episode of Celebrity Recipe Royale.
On today's epis^ode, we're going to be battling out
two celebrity breakfast sandwich recipes.
On today's lineup we have Gordon Ramsey
and BTS's very own J-Hope.
I measured out all the ingredients as each recipe stated
and I found three breakfast sandwich fanatics
to help me find out which one is the best.
Now which one of these celebrities has the best sandwich.
Let's get it cracking.
Coming up (indistinct) first is Gordon Ramsey.
He's going to start off
by slicing his croissants in half
and he's going to go ahead and heat up a pan,
throw in a little bit of oil and salt for seasoning.
Once you Brown up your salt a little bit
we're going to go ahead and toast our croissants.
Since the croissants have so much butter in them already,
the salt is going to add that little bit of extra flavor.
Once the croissants are done toasting
we're going to put that to the side
and start working on the meat.
In Gordon Ramsay's recipe,
he uses taso ham, since we ain't got that in Queens
he says, it's okay to use Canadian bacon as a substitute.
So we're going to go ahead and slice our Canadian bacon
into thin strips and fry them off.
Be careful not to add too much oil
since Canadian bacon already has some fat in it.
Be careful when you're cooking your Canadian bacon
because if you overcook it,
it will be tough and nobody want to be eating jerky,
you know what I mean?
So we're going to saute that for a little while.
We're going to flip it so we can get some nice color,
once that's done we're going to transfer that to a paper
laying in bowls so you can drain the fat from it.
We trying to shed that Covid weight you know what I mean?
I'm trying to look good baby.
In that same pan, you want to throw in a little bit of oil
and a little bit of butter so that the butter don't burn.
We're going to throw in some salt and old bay
which is Gordon Ramsey's secret weapon in this recipe.
We're going to crack two eggs in
and let the residual heat cook off the eggs.
So now that your eggs are cooking to the side slowly,
we're going to go ahead and build our sauce.
By the way, I forgot to season the Canadian bacon
with a little bit of peps in the pan
but I'm going to go ahead and season in the bowl,
it's still fine.
In a bowl, we're going to take a couple of heaping
tablespoons of mayo, a couple heavy dashes
of your favorite hot sauce.
We're going to take this ginormous lemon and squeeze it
in to make the sauce tangy, spicy and very saucy.
I like sauce.
Next step we're going to slice up our (indistinct).
So we're going to go ahead and thinly slice some tomatoes,
and we're going to go ahead and cut some lettuce.
Make sure to take off the (indistinct) from the lettuce
because it's kind of weird in the sandwich.
Now that your (indistinct) are sliced into the side
we're going to go ahead and base our egg.
So we want to just set the egg white and
base the yolk a tiny bit.
You still want to have that nice, you know, yolk porn.
You want to pop that later on.
So now we're going to go ahead and build our sandwich.
We're going to take the bottom half of the croissant
put a little bit of sauce on the bottom.
Put on our lettuce, a little bit of salt in between,
tomato, little bit of salt in between Canadian bacon.
We're going to go about six or seven slices.
We're going to fold in our cheddar cheese.
Next, we're going to top that off with our very
nicely cooked egg, some more sauce, and finally
the croissant top. Bang, bang. There you have it.
Cajun style breakfast sandwich by Gordon Ramsey.
We're going to close in
on that sexy egg and watch that yolk pop.
- All right baby.
Oh my guy.
This is made with a croissant.
- So my initial reaction to this one is
I love a good croissant.
- Little bit of a soggy bottom here,
but I will say the layers look delicious.
- And look at the sauce on.
This has got a lot of sauce.
- I don't like tomato though.
So I'm going to be rude and take off the tomato.
- Cheese, yes. Egg, yes. Meat, yes.
- This is the way to go when it comes to
breakfast sandwiches, for real.
- I would have liked to see maybe some sort of potato layer.
- To take a bite. I'm going to take a bite.
(crunching)
- Mm.
- Mm, oh yeah, Hmm-mm.
- Holy cow, that's next level breakfast stuff.
- That's delicious.
And we got a nice little runny yolk
on the egg, which is great.
- Honestly, the fact that it's on a croissant
I think just elevates the whole thing.
It takes it out of this world.
- Some (indistinct) would have been nice
but I love the flavor. The sauce is amazing.
- We have some sort of Chipotle mayonnaise
or some sort of pot mayonnaise going on
which I am a sucker for a spicy mayo.
- It's also got like that juice from the tomato
that worked very well with the bacon
the sauce, everything wrapped up together.
- Overall, very good.
I would eat this breakfast sandwich again.
- This is definitely something that I feel
like I would find it a more high end place.
- I would get this at a nice brunch,
I'm guzzling down some mimosas.
This is just kind of to fill my stomach
so I don't get too tipsy.
- This is going to be hard to beat
but I think it's time to bring in the next one.
- [Ross] All right.
So next up in the ring we have J-Hope from BTS.
He's going to take two slices of bread and lather them up
with some butter.
He's going to take that, put it in a slightly oiled pan
and toast them up real nice.
Make sure your butter is room temp so you can lather it
up evenly and not break your bread like I did.
Once the bread is nicely toasted.
We're going to transfer that to a plate and
start cooking off our bacon.
You want to make your bacon extra crispy,
like you've been in the sun too long with no tanning lotion.
All right, while your bacon is in the pan crispin up,
we're going to go ahead and whisk a couple of eggs.
Make sure your flip your bacon.
You want that nice all over even tan.
You want to drain some of the fat from the bacon
but we're also going to cook the eggs
in the remaining bacon fat.
After you get a nice scramble, you're going to transfer that
to a plate and we're going to start building
J-Hope's golden sandwich.
So we're going to start off by adding some extra butter.
We're going to go ahead and throw on some blueberry jam.
That's actually his favorite,
then were gonna go ahead and layer on some slices of bacon,
and to top it off, your fluffy golden scrambled egg.
And there you have it.
The most attractive member on BTS's golden toast.
Fight me on that one.
- Now right off the bat.
This is looking pretty breakfastee.
- I'm very excited about this breakfast sandwich
because I see jam.
- I don't know how I feel about this.
It looks like a Blackberry jam maybe.
- In Korea there's this like viral street sandwich
that has egg, cabbage, spam, but also jam.
I love that combination.
- Sweet and salty always a good mix.
- It smells maplely, I like that.
- Time to take a bite baby.
(upbeat music)
- Yup. It's so good.(laughs)
- Mm.
- Not gonna lie, this one was a little surprising
cause it looks kind of elementary.
- I'm not going to lie, I enjoyed that a
lot more than I thought I was going to.
- This just makes me happy.
- The sweetness of the jam
with the bacon and the egg is actually really balanced
and it's quite delicious.
- The bacon is just the right amount of crisp.
- That fluffy egg on the top, stuff.
This is a good little breakfast sandwich here.
- I'm really vibing with this whole jam.
I was suspicious of the jam at first.
I didn't think I was going to like the jam
but I'm vibing with the jam.
- [Ross] Now which one of these celebrities
has the best sandwich.
Let's find out.
- People, this is a super tough decision.
And that being said
I'm going to go with number one, final answer.
The croissant just really just took it next level.
The sauce, the quality of the bacon and everything.
All-in-all, it had to be the one. who's is it?
Gordon Ramsey.
Again. I think I've picked Gordon Ramsey
the last three times now, but my man does not disappoint.
Call me Ramsey(laughs).
- My favorite breakfast sandwich of the two
would be number two.
It just brought a smile to my face.
And it did remind me a lot
of like the street sandwiches back in Korea.
So definitely number two. Who is it?
Oh my God. (laughs)
J-Hope.
Ah, I love that.
- Out of these two celebrity sandwich recipes,
I've got to say my favorite was surprisingly number two.
I didn't think I was going to like jam
on a breakfast sandwich, but it was actually delicious.
It was unexpected and I really enjoyed it.
Who made it?
Okay. Well that's cool. I love BTS.
I love K-pop. I like to see artists go outside
of their usual area of expertise. So I'm here for it.
- [Ross] Well, breakfast is K-pop
and cause J-Hope takes today's Celebrity Recipe Royal.
