Method

Herbed Cream Cheese Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Herbed Cream Cheese

    In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, chopped dill, chopped chives, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined. Set aside.

Pickled Zucchini Preparation

  1. 2

    Pickle the Zucchini

    In a small saucepan, combine the white vinegar and water. Bring to a boil. Add the thinly sliced zucchini and let it simmer for about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. Drain and set aside.

Poaching Eggs

  1. 3

    Poach the Eggs

    In a large saucepan, bring water to a gentle simmer. Add a splash of vinegar to the water. Crack each egg into a small bowl and gently slide it into the simmering water. Poach the eggs for about 3-4 minutes or until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Toast Assembly

  1. 4

    Toast the Bread

    While the eggs are poaching, toast the sourdough bread slices until golden brown.

  2. 5

    Assemble the Toast

    Spread a generous amount of the herbed cream cheese on each slice of toasted bread. Top with smoked salmon and a few slices of pickled zucchini. Finally, place a poached egg on each toast.

  3. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately, garnished with extra dill or chives if desired.
