Method

Preparation of Ingredients

  1. 1

    Prepare the Avocado

    Cut the large avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh out into a bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork until creamy but still a little chunky. Add lemon juice to prevent browning and mix well.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Cream Cheese

    In a separate bowl, soften the cream cheese if needed by letting it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes. Stir until smooth and creamy.

Assembling the Philly

  1. 3

    Spread the Cream Cheese

    Take your slices of bagel or toast and generously spread a layer of the softened cream cheese on each slice.

  2. 4

    Layer the Salmon

    Place the house smoked salmon evenly on top of the cream cheese spread on both slices.

  3. 5

    Add the Avocado

    Spoon the mashed avocado on top of the smoked salmon, spreading it evenly.

  4. 6

    Optional Toppings

    If desired, sprinkle capers and fresh dill on top of the avocado for extra flavor.
