Smoked Salmon Avocado Toast: A Flavorful and Easy Breakfast
Avocado toast has become a breakfast staple for many people, and for good reason. It’s a simple, yet delicious and nutritious way to start your day. One of my favorite variations is smoked salmon avocado toast. The combination of creamy avocado, salty smoked salmon, tangy capers, and tangy cream cheese is simply irresistible.
Ingredients:
- 2 slices whole-grain bread
- 1 ripe avocado
- 4 ounces smoked salmon
- 1 tablespoon capers
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Toast your bread: Toast your bread to your desired level of crispiness.
- Mash the avocado: While the bread is toasting, mash the avocado in a bowl. Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste, and mash until smooth.
- Assemble the toast: Spread the mashed avocado evenly on the toasted bread slices.
- Add the toppings: Top the avocado with smoked salmon, capers, and cream cheese.
- Enjoy! Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious smoked salmon avocado toast.
Tips:
- Choose the right bread: For a heartier toast, use whole-grain bread. If you prefer a lighter option, use a multigrain or sourdough bread.
- Ripe avocado: Use a ripe avocado for the best flavor and texture. An avocado that is too hard will be difficult to mash, and an avocado that is too soft will be mushy.
- Fresh smoked salmon: Opt for high-quality smoked salmon for the best flavor.
- Capers: Capers add a tangy flavor to the toast. If you don’t like capers, you can omit them.
- Cream cheese: Use a cream cheese with a mild flavor. If you prefer a stronger flavor, use a flavored cream cheese such as herb or vegetable.
- Add-ons: You can customize your smoked salmon avocado toast with additional toppings, such as red onion, dill, or everything bagel seasoning.
