Ingredients
- 4 large eggs (poached, soft-boiled, or scrambled)
- 1 ripe avocado
- 4 oz (115g) smoked salmon, thinly sliced
- 2 slices of sourdough, rye, or gluten-free bread (optional)
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Fresh dill or chives (for garnish)
- Red pepper flakes (optional)
- Olive oil (for drizzling)
Instructions
Toast the Bread (Optional):
Toast your bread slices until golden and crisp. Set aside. If you’re skipping carbs, no problem — the eggs, avocado, and salmon can shine on their own!Prepare the Avocado:
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Mash lightly with a fork, adding lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste. You can leave it chunky or make it smooth — your call!Cook the Eggs:
Choose your favorite style.Poached: Crack an egg into a small bowl. Swirl simmering water in a saucepan and gently drop in the egg. Cook 3–4 minutes for a soft yolk.
Soft-Boiled: Boil eggs for 6 minutes, then place in cold water before peeling.
Scrambled: Whisk eggs with a splash of milk, cook gently in butter until soft and creamy.
Assemble the Dish:
Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toast (or plate). Top with smoked salmon slices, then gently place the cooked eggs on top.Garnish and Serve:
Sprinkle with fresh dill or chives, a dash of red pepper flakes if you like heat, and a tiny drizzle of olive oil. Serve immediately while warm!
Notes
- Substitute Ideas: Try hummus instead of avocado, or gravlax instead of smoked salmon for a Nordic twist.
- Add Texture: A sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds or sunflower seeds adds crunch.
- Meal Prep: You can prep the mashed avocado and smoked salmon the night before. Just keep the avocado in an airtight container with lemon juice to prevent browning.
