Step-by-Step Instructions
Mash the avocado in a small bowl until creamy. Stir in the lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and a few grinds of black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning so it’s bright and well-balanced.
Toast the bread slices until golden and crisp at the edges. If the slices are large, halve them diagonally so they’re easy to serve and eat.
Poach the eggs: bring a saucepan of water to a gentle simmer (not a rolling boil). Crack each egg into a cup, swirl the water, slide the eggs in, and cook 3–4 minutes for a soft yolk. Lift out with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towel.
Assemble the toast: spread the lemony avocado evenly over the warm toast. Arrange the smoked salmon in loose folds on top so each bite gets a little of everything.
Finish and serve: crown each slice with a poached egg, season lightly with salt and pepper, and garnish with microgreens or dill. Serve immediately while the toast is crisp and the eggs are warm.
