- 1 ripe avocado
- 2 large eggs

- 1 tablespoon white vinegar

Instructions
Let’s get cooking! Follow these steps and you’ll have a delicious meal on your table in no time.
- Start by heating a small saucepan of water over medium heat. Add the tablespoon of white vinegar and bring it to a gentle simmer.
- While the water heats, toast your bread slices until golden brown. Set them aside.
- Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Mash it with a fork and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Once the water is simmering, crack the eggs into separate small bowls. Gently slide each egg into the water. Poach for about 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk, or longer if you prefer a firmer yolk.
- While the eggs are poaching, spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread slices.
- Layer the smoked salmon on top of the avocado.
- Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the poached eggs from the water and place one on each slice of bread.
- Sprinkle with fresh dill or chives if using, and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
