Avocado, Smoked Salmon & Egg Toast

Toast. We’ve all eaten it. It conjures up childhood memories. Once upon a time it was regarded as just a breakfast vehicle for jam or for dunking in soup. And whilst toast is effective for both breakfast (especially with a perfectly cooked egg) & for soup-slurping, it also makes a quick & easy main course. Avocado, Smoked Salmon & Egg Toast slightly elevates the humble piece of scorched dry bread to become a fast, fresh & dare I say even a little bit special, evening meal. 

The toppings are endless as any toast enthusiast will agree. I opted for Avocado, Smoked Salmon & Egg Toast because they were ingredients I had in my fridge & easy to make with the limited area I currently have available for cooking thank to an extensive kitchen remodel. It was either toast or take-out. Toast it was. This is how it went down: Avocado liberally sprinkled with crushed peppercorns & salt, then drizzled with lime juice. 

Some smoked salmon. And I could have stopped right there because I love smoked salmon & avocado together. 

But then I decided to add eggs & really thin slices of jalapeno. 

As I was heading down the jalapeno route, it only seemed fitting to throw together a fresh salsa. 

Then I needed a knife & fork. 

Because things were getting out of hand. 

So delicious. Especially on my homemade artisan bread. And within 15 minutes, dinner was done. Without a kitchen. Okay, excuse me as I go & rustle something up for lunch. 

Oh, & if like me you love toast, here’s a Goat Cheese, Zucchini & Pea Crostini that’s incredible & you need to try. Toodles xo
