Ingredients

  • 8 slices of gluten
  • free bread, toasted
  • 16 slices smoked salmon
  • 4 ripe avocados, mashed
  • 8 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp white vinegar
  • Fresh dill and parsley, chopped
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • 4 tbsp butter, softened
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Begin by preparing the poached eggs: Fill a large saucepan with water and bring it to a simmer. Add white vinegar. Crack each egg into a small bowl, then gently slide it into the simmering water. Poach for 3 4 minutes until the whites are set and yolks are still runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel lined plate to drain.
  2. Mash avocados in a bowl with lemon zest, juice, salt, and pepper. Spread mashed avocado onto each toast slice.
  3. Assemble the brunch by placing two slices of smoked salmon on top of the avocado toast, followed by one poached egg. Sprinkle with fresh dill and parsley.
  4. Serve immediately with a side of lemon wedges for added zest.
