Breakfast toast with smoked salmon and poached egg

Start your day off right with a deliciously satisfying breakfast that’s packed with flavor and texture. This breakfast Toast is everything you need for a balanced and fulfilling meal. The crispy slice of sourdough bread provides the perfect base, while a layer of creamy cheese, delicate smoked salmon, and fresh avocado make each bite a treat.

Prep time: 10 MinCook time: 5 MinTotal time: 15 Min

Ingredients

• 2 slices of sourdough bread
• Cream cheese, about two tablespoons
• One avocado (use half per person)
• 2 large eggs
• Dill and microgreens for topping
• A pinch of chili flakes per serving
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. First, make the poached eggs. Fill a saucepan with water about halfway to two-thirds full and add a splash of vinegar (optional). Bring the water to a gentle simmer, not a boil. You should see small bubbles forming on the bottom of the pot.
2. Using a spoon or spatula, stir the water in a circular motion to create a gentle whirlpool. This should be done right before you add the eggs.
3. Crack the eggs into a small bowl or cup. Gently slide the eggs into the center of the whirlpool, one at a time. The swirling motion helps the egg whites wrap around the yolk, preventing them from spreading too much.
4. Poach the eggs for about 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk, or longer if you prefer a firmer yolk.
5. Use a slotted spoon to carefully lift the eggs out of the water. Drain them on a paper towel or a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess water.
6. Next, toast the sourdough slices to your desired level of crispiness. You can use a toaster or a grill pan.
7. While the toast is working, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Slice each half into thin slices.
8. Time to assemble: Once the bread is nice and toasted, spread 1 tablespoon of cream cheese evenly over each slice.
9. Arrange two slices of smoked salmon on top of each toast, then add the sliced avocados.
10. Carefully place one poached egg on top of each slice of toast. Sprinkle the tops with fresh dill and microgreens.
11. Add a pinch of chili flakes to each toast for a touch of heat and season with salt and pepper to taste.
