Ingredients
Scale
For the Perfect Scrambled Eggs:
- 3 large eggs
- 1 Tbsp 14g extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 Tbsp 3g minced fresh chives
- 1 tsp 1g minced fresh dill
- Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
For the Caper-Avocado Mash:
- ½ medium ripe avocado (approx. 68g flesh, diced)
- 1 ½ tsp 7.5ml fresh lemon juice
- ½ tsp 2g capers, rinsed and roughly chopped
- Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
For Assembly:
- 2 large slices of your preferred bread (sourdough, whole wheat, or pumpernickel recommended, approx. 76g total)
- 2 oz 56.7g thinly sliced smoked salmon
- 1 ½ tsp minced fresh chives (for garnish)
- Freshly ground black pepper (to taste (optional garnish))
Instructions
- Prepare the Perfect Scrambled Eggs: In a medium bowl, lightly beat the eggs with 1 tablespoon minced fresh chives, the dill, and a pinch of black pepper (no added salt). Warm the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over low to medium-low heat until just shimmering. Pour in the eggs and cook gently, sweeping a silicone spatula slowly across the pan to form large, soft curds. Cook 3–5 minutes until 70–75% set (still glossy and slightly loose), then remove from heat; the residual heat will finish the eggs. Cover to keep warm.
- Create the Caper-Avocado Mash & Toast the Bread: Toast the bread to your desired crispness. In a small bowl, combine diced avocado, lemon juice, and chopped, well-rinsed capers. Mash to your preferred texture; season with black pepper to taste (no added salt).
- Assemble Your Ultimate Toast: Spread the avocado mash over the toast, spoon the warm scrambled eggs on top, then layer the smoked salmon. Garnish with the remaining chives and a grind of black pepper if desired. Serve immediately.
