Poached eggs with Avocado & smoked salmon

Breakfast is my favourite meal of the day! And avocado on toast is what i usually order when i’m dining out. However, cooking poached eggs at home is easier than you would think, its just practice so why not give it a go by creating a cafe style breakfast at home. Surprise that special someone in your life and cook them up a breakfast to remember!

Ingredients (serves 2)

2 eggs
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
2 slices sourdough bread
1 avocado
50g feta
1 teaspoon lemon juice
4 cherry tomatoes, quartered
2 slices of smoked salmon
10g chives, finely chopped
to taste salt, pepper

Method

Fill a medium saucepan with water and add the vinegar. Bring to the boil.
Slice the avocado in half and scoop out the flesh into the bowl, gently crush with a fork. Add in the tomatoes, chives, lemon juice and then crumble in the feta. Genty stir through.
Once the water has come to a boil, using a spoon stir the water to create a whirlpool and break the eggs straight into the water. If you are not confident to break it straight in the water you can break the egg into a small bowl or large spoon first and then lower it gently into the water. Set a timer for 3 minutes and reduce the heat a little so that it Is not a rapid boil rather a nice gentle simmer.
While the eggs are cooking, toast the bread and place it onto your serving plate, lay over 2 slices of smoked salmon per each piece of bread, then top with the avocado mix.
Once the eggs have cooked remove them using a slotted spoon and place onto paper towel to remove the excess water, season with salt and pepper and then gently transfer the eggs on top of the avocado. Serve immediately.

Beautiful, minus the salmon. And personally i would skip the bread too. Just avocado with poached eggs on spinach, topped with Dukkah !

A nice slice of good quality leg ham would be a great alternative to salmon! Poached eggs are my favourite too!

  Poached eggs for breakfast are the best way to start a weekend.

I love poached eggs and eating good poached eggs is the best way to start a day. This breakfast looks so healthy and yummy and I just wish I could have this for breakfast this morning! Ham is also delicious with poached eggs – I vary between the two – smoked salmon sometimes and ham sometimes. Thanks for your recipe for poached eggs.
