Restated from the original video

1. 1

   Cut the baguette in half crosswise. Slice each piece open lengthwise, leaving one side attached so it opens flat like a book.

2. 2

   Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Cook the onion until soft, 2-3 min.

3. 3

   Add the beef, salt and black pepper. Cook, breaking up the meat, until browned and cooked through with no pink left, 5-6 min.

4. 4

   Tip the beef and onion into a bowl and let cool for 2 min.

5. 5

   Beat the eggs and stir them into the beef mixture.

6. 6

   Wipe the pan and heat half of the remaining oil over medium heat. Pour in half the egg and beef mixture and spread it into a rectangle a little larger than the bread.

7. 7

   Lay one piece of baguette, cut sides down, on the egg and press firmly with a spatula. Cook until the egg is set and sticks to the bread, 2-3 min.

8. 8

   Flip and cook until the crust is crisp and golden, 1-2 min. Slide onto a board and repeat with the rest of the oil and mixture.

9. 9

   Keep each piece egg side up. Drizzle with the ketchup and chili sauce, cut into 4-5 slices and serve hot.
