Directions
- Toast the Bread: Toast the bread slices until golden brown and crisp around the edges. A sturdy toast provides the perfect base to hold all the toppings without becoming soggy.
- Prepare the Avocado: In a small bowl, mash the avocado with lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth but still slightly chunky. The lemon brightens the flavor and keeps the avocado vibrant.
- Cook the Asparagus: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the asparagus spears and sauté for 3–4 minutes, turning occasionally, until they’re tender-crisp and bright green. Season lightly with salt and remove from heat.
- Cook the Eggs (Choose Your Style):
- Poached: Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer, add a splash of vinegar, and poach the eggs for about 3 minutes until whites are set and yolks are soft.
- Fried: Cook eggs sunny-side up or over-easy in a lightly oiled pan until the whites are set.
- Soft-Boiled: Boil eggs for 6½ minutes, then cool in ice water and peel carefully.
- Assemble the Toast: Spread the mashed avocado generously over each slice of toast.
- Layer the asparagus on top of the avocado, followed by folds of smoked salmon. The contrast of warm vegetables and cool salmon adds depth to every bite.
- Top each toast with an egg, placing it gently so the yolk stays intact if soft.
- Finish & Serve: Season with black pepper, chili flakes if using, and a sprinkle of fresh herbs. Drizzle lightly with olive oil or a touch more lemon juice before serving.
