Description

A gourmet twist on a classic! This sandwich layers smoked salmon, pesto, avocado, and a runny egg for a delightful breakfast.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 slices bread
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) pesto
  • Thin slices of cucumber
  • 1/4 - 1/2 an avocado (60 - 120 g) avocado
  • Fresh lemon juice
  • A few slices of smoked salmon
  • 1 fried egg
  • Handful of arugula

Instructions

  1. Spread one slice of bread with pesto.
  2. Top with cucumber slices, then avocado. Spritz with a bit of fresh lemon juice and sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper.
  3. Layer the smoked salmon on top of the avocado, then the arugula.
  4. Top with the fried egg then the other slice of bread.
  5. Press down slightly, letting the yolk ooze a bit, then cut in half and enjoy.

Notes

  • Toasted bread elevates the sandwich; toast lightly before assembling.
  • For a creamier avocado, mash it slightly before adding to the sandwich.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, but the bread may get soggy.
