I went to a fancy-vegan-healthy-organic restaurant not too long ago and they had something like this on the menu. Guess how much it costs? About $7 for ONE toast. Ridiculous right? A basic avocado toast was $5. I know, why so pricey? So I decided, why not just make it at home? It’s cheaper AND I don’t have to wait 10-20 mins for people to make it for me. It’s honestly pretty basic. The smoked salmon are typically more expensive, but if you’re feeling a fancy morning, try making this at home! It’s the perfect savory easy-to-make breakfast!

Directions:
Start toasting the bread in a toaster (duh Gem lol)
Spray the pan with cooking oil and fry the egg in medium heat for 30 seconds, then adjust the heat to low. Cover the pan and let it cook for about 3 minutes (this cooks the entire egg but keeps the yolk soft!)
Prep the avocado in a bowl and add the pinch of salt, black pepper, herb seasoning of your desire, and a squeeze of lemon if you’d like a little zest to it. Mash all the ingredients together and spread it on the two toasts.
Add the 2 oz of smoked salmon on top and garnish it with herb seasoning —My personal preference is italian seasoning!
Once the egg is done, put it on top of one toast.
Side note: I would typically use two eggs on my toast, but because smoked salmon is much higher in fat, I’ve decided to only do one. This meal is very high in fat, but much more wholesome than processed foods!
