A quick and easy breakfast featuring toasted sourdough topped with creamy mashed avocado, fresh smoked salmon, and a perfectly poached egg for a rich, flavorful start to your day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 slices sourdough bread, preferably day-old
  • 1 medium ripe avocado, mashed
  • 3–4 ounces fresh smoked salmon, thinly sliced
  • 2 large eggs, for poaching
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling
  • 1 teaspoon fresh dill, chopped (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar, for poaching water

Instructions

  1. Lightly toast 2 slices of sourdough bread until golden and crisp but not too hard, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. In a medium bowl, mash 1 ripe avocado with 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, pinch of salt, and pepper to taste until creamy but still slightly chunky. Set aside.
  3. Fill a medium saucepan with about 3 inches of water. Add 1 tablespoon of white vinegar and bring to a gentle simmer (around 180°F).
  4. Crack one egg into a small bowl. Create a gentle whirlpool in the simmering water using a spoon, then carefully slide the egg into the center. Poach for about 3 minutes for a runny yolk or up to 4 minutes for slightly firmer. Use a slotted spoon to remove the egg, draining excess water. Repeat with the second egg.
  5. Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted sourdough slices. Layer 1.5 to 2 ounces of smoked salmon on top of the avocado.
  6. Gently place one poached egg on each slice of toast.
  7. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, sprinkle chopped fresh dill and a pinch of red pepper flakes if desired. Add additional salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy warm.

Notes

Use the freshest eggs possible for best poaching results. Adding vinegar to poaching water helps egg whites coagulate. Toast bread just enough to avoid sogginess. Drizzle olive oil last for a silky finish. Store avocado mash with lemon juice to prevent browning if prepping ahead.
