About This Recipe

Elevate your brunch experience with this exquisite gluten-free New Zealand inspired dish featuring smoked salmon, creamy avocado, perfectly poached eggs, and fresh herbs atop crispy gluten-free toast. A sensory feast for the eyes and palate!

This recipe draws inspiration from the abundance of fresh seafood and produce available in New Zealand.

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. 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. 2

    Mash avocados in a bowl with lemon zest, juice, salt, and pepper. Spread mashed avocado onto each toast slice.

  3. 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. 4

    Serve immediately with a side of lemon wedges for added zest.

Chef's Notes

Be gentle when handling the poached eggs to avoid breaking the yolks.
