  • Make the garlic aioli: Simply combine mayonnaise, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and ground pepper. Mix until thoroughly combined. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving.
  • Assemble the sandwich: Spread 1 tablespoon garlic aioli on each bun. Top with bagnet pieces, tomatoes, cucumbers, and lettuce leaves. Cover with another bun. Serve with kamote fries, if desired.
