Description
Smoked Salmon Avocado Toast is a delightful and nutritious breakfast option featuring a combination of creamy avocado, rich smoked salmon, and a poached egg, all served on toasted sourdough bread.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 thick slice sourdough bread
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1/2 medium avocado, diced or sliced
- 2 ounces smoked salmon
- 1 large egg, poached
- Thinly sliced red onion, a few slices
- 1/2 teaspoon capers
- Fresh chives or dill, finely chopped, for garnish
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Drizzle olive oil or squeeze of lemon juice, as desired
Instructions
- Toast sourdough bread in a toaster or skillet until golden brown and crisp. Spread an even layer of cream cheese on top while the bread is still warm.
- Fill a small saucepan with water and bring to a gentle simmer. Add a splash of vinegar. Crack egg into a small bowl and gently slide into the simmering water. Poach for 3 to 4 minutes until the white is set but yolk remains runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and gently blot dry.
- Arrange the diced or sliced avocado evenly on the cream cheese-covered toast, followed by overlapping pieces of smoked salmon.
- Distribute thin slices of red onion and sprinkle capers over the salmon to add a sharp and tangy flavor.
- Place the poached egg on top. Season generously with salt and cracked black pepper. Garnish with fresh chopped chives or dill. Finish with a light drizzle of olive oil or a squeeze of lemon juice as desired.
- Serve immediately while the toast is still crisp and the poached egg yolk is warm and runny.
Notes
- Ensure the avocado is ripe for the best flavor and texture.
- For a variation, try adding sliced tomatoes or radishes.
- This dish is best served fresh, as the toast may become soggy if left for too long.
