Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Avocado

    In a bowl, mash the ripe avocados with lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to taste. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Poach the Eggs

    Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer. Crack each egg into a small bowl, then gently slide each egg into the simmering water. Poach for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolk is still runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and set on a paper towel.

  3. 3

    Toast the Bread

    While the eggs are poaching, toast the whole grain bread until golden brown.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Toast

    Spread a generous amount of the smashed avocado on each slice of toasted bread. Layer with smoked salmon, a handful of arugula, and top with a poached egg.

  5. 5

    Add Pickled Onions

    Finish by adding a spoonful of pickled red onions on top of each toast.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Sprinkle with additional black pepper if desired, cut in half, and serve immediately.
