Ingredients for Salmon & Avocado Toast

• 1 large egg
• 1/2 ripe avocado
• 3 strips smoked salmon
• 1 thick slice artisan sourdough bread
• 1 tablespoon white vinegar (for poaching)
• Fresh herbs (dill/chives) for garnish
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions

1. Toast the artisan sourdough bread slice until deeply golden and crispy.
2. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and carefully slice it into thin, even strips using a sharp knife.
3. Fan out the avocado slices and place them neatly across the toasted bread, then season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
4. Bring a small pot of water to a gentle simmer and add a tablespoon of white vinegar.
5. Crack the egg into a small ramekin. Whirl the simmering water to create a vortex, then gently slide the egg into the center. Poach for exactly 3 minutes.
6. Layer the delicate smoked salmon strips generously on top of the avocado bed.
7. Carefully remove the poached egg with a slotted spoon, drain any excess water, and place it gently on top of the salmon.
8. Season with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and garnish with fresh microgreens or chopped fresh herbs. Serve immediately.
