Directions
- Toast the Bread
Lightly butter the bread slices if desired and toast until golden and crisp. Spread a thin layer of cream cheese over each slice while still warm. - Prepare the Avocado
Mash the avocado in a small bowl with lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth but still slightly chunky. Spread evenly over the cream cheese layer. - Poach the Eggs
Bring a small pot of water to a gentle simmer and add white vinegar if using. Crack each egg into a small bowl, then gently slide into the simmering water. Poach for 3–4 minutes until the whites are set but yolks remain runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. - Assemble the Toast
Layer smoked salmon evenly over the avocado spread. Place a poached egg on top of each toast. Sprinkle with chopped chives or parsley and add red pepper flakes or capers if desired. - Serve Immediately
Serve warm for the best texture and flavor. Slice in half for easy eating or serve as-is for an elegant presentation.
