Avocado Toast with Poached Egg and Smoked Salmon 🐟
This indulgent yet simple breakfast dish combines creamy avocado, rich smoked salmon, and a perfectly poached egg for a restaurant-worthy meal in just 15 minutes.
Ingredients
1 ripe avocado, mashed
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Pinch of flaky salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
1 slice sourdough or whole-grain bread, toasted
1 poached egg
2 thin slices smoked salmon
Fresh chives or dill, finely chopped, for garnish
Optional: Red pepper flakes for a touch of heat
Instructions
1. Prepare the Avocado Spread
Scoop the ripe avocado into a small bowl and mash it with a fork until smooth and creamy.
Add the lemon juice and mix thoroughly to keep the avocado fresh and flavorful.
Season with salt and pepper, adjusting to your preference.
2. Toast the Bread
Toast the sourdough or whole-grain bread until golden and crisp.
3. Poach the Egg
Fill a small saucepan with water and bring it to a gentle simmer. Add a splash of vinegar (optional) to help the egg whites coagulate.
Crack the egg into a ramekin or small dish for easy transfer.
Create a gentle whirlpool in the water and carefully slide the egg into the center.
Poach for 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolk remains soft.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the egg and drain it on a paper towel.
4. Assemble the Toast
Spread the mashed avocado generously over the toasted bread.
Layer the smoked sal
mon slices evenly on top of the avocado.
Carefully place the poached egg on the smoked salmon.
5. Garnish and Serve
Sprinkle with fresh dill or chopped chives for a burst of flavor and aroma.
Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick, if desired.
Adjust seasoning with a touch more salt or pepper, and serve immediately.
