Which is doubly ironic because he specifically said he wasn't just going to just add caviar and call it good. And yes, I know he also used pork secreto which is expensive, but he fried it meaning a pork chop would be just as good in the recipe. Just like how you don't get points for gold leaf in these kind of videos, using an expensive ingredient that doesn't add anything gives you no points.

Instead of adding caviar-caviar, try some pickled/soaked mustard seed with classic egg seasonings. The soft scramble is a necessity, in my mind.

Joshua flew too close to the sun with this one and created his very own Eggs Woodhouse. Personal preference is the simple one. The fancy one, as delicious as it may be, is entirely too fancy for my palate.

His exact preparation? About $70-$80. A more sensible recipe that's the same idea (so not deep frying an expensive cut that's meant to be eaten raw cured or rare/medium rare at the most) and you get it down to about $40. You could get it under $15 if you also just used normal bacon, but I'll let him have that one because it's not clearly dumb like the secreto is. Also a lot less if you make the portion more reasonably sized. He kind of hand waved away the portion size discrepancy, and while it is true that it'd be a lot more at equivalent portion sizes, the expensive sandwich is ~50% bigger than it has any right to be which makes it significantly more. fwiw I'm also not convinced that the sandwich is actually more than $200 even as prepared. The numbers don't add up. Secreto is $40 a lb. The bacon is apparently $25. Grueyere is like $5. I don't have a good intuition for how much caviar 4 ounces of caviar is, but it has to be in that ballpark for it to actually be over $400.
