Ingredients
  

For the Perfect Scrambled Eggs:
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 Tbsp 14g unsalted butter
  • 1 Tbsp 3g minced fresh chives
  • 1 tsp 1g minced fresh dill
  • Pinch of kosher salt
  • 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 kosher salt
  • 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)

Method
 

Step 1: Prepare the Perfect Scrambled Eggs
  1. In a medium bowl, lightly beat the eggs with 1 tablespoon of the fresh chives, the minced fresh dill, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of pepper. Place a nonstick skillet over a medium-low flame and melt the butter until it shimmers. Pour in the seasoned egg mixture. Allow the eggs to cook gently, stirring infrequently with a silicone spatula by drawing it across the bottom of the skillet. This method helps create large, soft, and creamy curds. Continue cooking for approximately 3-5 minutes, or until the eggs are just set but still retain a pleasant moistness. Remove the skillet from the heat and cover to keep the eggs warm.
Step 2: Create the Caper-Avocado Mash & Toast the Bread
  1. While the eggs are cooking, or immediately after, toast your bread slices until they reach your desired level of crispness and golden color.
  2. In a separate small bowl, combine the diced avocado flesh, fresh lemon juice, rinsed and chopped capers, and a small pinch of salt and pepper. Gently mash the mixture with a fork to your preferred consistency – some prefer it slightly chunky, others smooth.
Step 3: Assemble Your Ultimate Toast
  1. Arrange the two toasted bread slices on a serving plate. Generously spread the prepared caper-avocado mash evenly over each slice of toast. Delicately spoon the warm scrambled eggs on top of the avocado layer. Artfully arrange the slices of smoked salmon over the eggs. Finally, garnish your creation with the reserved 1 ½ teaspoons of fresh chives and an additional grind of black pepper, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy.
