Ingredients
1 piece thick cut bread (sourdough or other)
3 pieces thinly sliced smoked salmon
5–6 slices of cucumber
1/2 large ripe avocado
1–2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 poached egg
Salmon roe, optional
Microgreens for garnish
Instructions
Poach egg and set aside.
Toast the piece of bread until the bread is just golden brown, about 2-3 minutes depending on the thickness of the bread.
Remove the pit from the avocado and discard. To properly slice and remove an avocado pit, use a chef’s knife to cut lengthwise around the avocado. Once sliced, strike down on the pit with a steady hit of the knife, rotate and remove. Use a dish towel to protect your hand if necessary.
If you’re mashing the avocado, remove the avocado from the skin and place the avocado flesh into a medium bowl and mash it with a fork and a squeeze of the fresh lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper as needed. If you’re slicing, slice the avocado in the skin and remove with a large spoon. Place on the toast.
Place or spread the avocado on the toast. Top with sliced cucumber, smoked salmon, poached eggs and microgreens (and salmon roe if desired).
