Poached Eggs with Smoked Salmon

Ingredients

• 2-4 eggs
• 1 avocado
• 100 g lightly smoked salmon
• 2 slices wholegrain bread
• Salt and pepper

Method

1. 1

   Toast the bread in a toaster or on a griddle pan. Use ready-smoked salmon, or prepare lightly cured salmon in advance by rubbing 400 g of salmon fillet with a mixture of 2 tablespoons salt and 1 tablespoon sugar. Lay a thin slice of salmon over each piece of warm toast.

2. 2

   Halve the avocado, remove the stone and peel, then slice it thinly. Arrange the slices over the salmon, then season with salt and pepper.

3. 3

   Bring a small saucepan of water to the boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer. Crack the eggs into the water one at a time and poach until just set. Lift them out carefully with a slotted spoon and place one or two eggs on each slice of toast. Serve immediately while hot
