  • SERVES
    2 people
  • PREP TIME
    15 minutes
  • Cook TIME
    10 minutes
Ingredients
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 slices of sourdough bread
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 4 oz smoked salmon
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • Fresh dill or chives, for garnish (optional)
  • Red pepper flakes, for a little kick (optional)
Directions
  1. Fill a medium saucepan with water and bring it to a gentle simmer. Add a splash of vinegar to help the eggs hold their shape.
  2. While the water is heating, toast the sourdough slices until golden brown and crispy.
  3. In a small bowl, mash the avocado with lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste. Spread the avocado mixture generously over the toasted sourdough.
  4. Crack each egg into a small bowl or ramekin. Gently slide the eggs into the simmering water, one at a time. Poach for about 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk or longer for a firmer yolk.
  5. While the eggs are poaching, layer the smoked salmon on top of the avocado toast.
  6. Use a slotted spoon to carefully remove the poached eggs from the water. Let any excess water drip off before placing them on top of the smoked salmon.
  7. Garnish with fresh dill or chives, and sprinkle with red pepper flakes if desired.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy the harmonious blend of flavors.
