Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 slices granary bread
  • 1 avocado
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 4 slices smoked salmon
  • black pepper

Equipment

  • Toaster or oven
  • Small bowl
  • Pot of Water
  • Slotted spoon
  • Knife and cutting board

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Begin by toasting the two slices of granary bread until golden brown and crispy. You can use a toaster or an oven for this step.
  2. While the bread is toasting, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Add the teaspoon of lime juice and a pinch of salt. Mash it all together using a fork until smooth yet still slightly chunky for texture.
  3. In a pot, bring water to a gentle simmer. Crack each egg into a small bowl, then gently slide them into the simmering water. Allow them to poach for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny. Use a slotted spoon to carefully remove the eggs and drain on a paper towel.
  4. Spread a generous amount of the avocado mixture over each slice of toasted granary bread. Lay two slices of smoked salmon on top of the avocado spread.
  5. Place a poached egg on top of the salmon on each slice of toast. The warm egg will slightly melt into the avocado and salmon, creating a creamy, delicious bite.
  6. Finish with a sprinkle of black pepper for added flavor. Serve immediately while everything is fresh and warm.

Notes

  • Granary bread can be substituted with any bread you have on hand.
  • If you don’t have lime juice, lemon juice works just as well.
  • Other toppings like feta cheese, capers, or cherry tomatoes can enhance the dish.
