Scrambled Eggs, Avocado & Smoked Salmon on Toast

By á-25089

Avocado toast takes it up a notch topped with eggs scrambled with a bit of creme fraiche and chives, and then topped with a thin slice of smoked salmon. Perfect for a special breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons fresh chives, minced & divided
• 2 tablespoons crème fraîche, optional
• 6 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 4 large or 8 small slices sourdough, whole wheat, or pumpernickel bread, toasted
• 1 avocado, halved, pitted, peeled, & diced
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 4 ounces smoked salmon, thinly sliced

Preparation

Step 1

Mash avocado with a fork. Mix in lemon juice, salt and pepper. Spread the avocado mixture over each slice of toast.

Mix 2 tablespoons chives, crème fraîche (if using), and eggs in a large bowl. Melt butter in a large heavy nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add egg mixture and season with salt and pepper. Cook, occasionally scraping bottom of skillet with a heatproof spatula to form large, soft curds, until just barely set, 3 to 4 minutes.

Spoon eggs over avocado. Drape salmon slices over eggs, garnish with remaining 1 tablespoon chives, and season to taste with pepper.
