Ingredients

Bread and Spread

  • 2 slices of granary bread
  • 1 avocado
  • 1 tsp lime juice
  • Pinch of salt

Toppings

  • 2 eggs
  • 4 slices of smoked salmon
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Toast the Bread: Place the 2 slices of granary bread into a toaster and toast until golden and crisp.
  2. Prepare Avocado Spread: Cut the avocado in half, remove the flesh into a bowl, and mash it with a fork until smooth but still slightly chunky.
  3. Mix Flavorings: Add the lime juice and a pinch of salt to the mashed avocado and stir until well combined for a fresh, tangy flavor.
  4. Spread Avocado: Evenly spread the avocado mixture across each slice of toasted bread.
  5. Bring Water to Simmer: Fill a small pan with water and bring it to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer.
  6. Poach Eggs: Crack the first egg into a small saucer. Stir the simmering water gently to create a slight whirlpool, then slide the egg from the saucer into the water. Repeat for the second egg.
  7. Cook Eggs: Let the eggs cook undisturbed for 3 minutes to achieve soft, runny yolks.
  8. Remove and Drain Eggs: Carefully lift the eggs out with a slotted spoon and place them on a clean tea towel to drain excess water.
  9. Assemble Toppings: Place two slices of smoked salmon on each slice of avocado-topped toast.
  10. Top with Poached Eggs: Gently place one poached egg on top of the salmon on each toast. Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Notes

  • Use fresh eggs for best poaching results and clearer whites.
  • To add extra flavor, sprinkle some chili flakes or fresh herbs over the top.
  • Poached eggs can be cooked longer if you prefer a firmer yolk.
  • Granary bread adds texture and nutrition but you can substitute with sourdough or whole wheat bread.
  • Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
