Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices bread: sourdough, wheat, Italian or French loaf, ½” thick pieces
- 1 large avocado
- ¼ teaspoon lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ cup cream cheese
- ¼ cup sliced tomatoes: ⅛” thick (8 slices)
- ¼ cup sliced cucumber: ⅛” thick (8 slices)
- 2 ounces smoked salmon: or lox
- 2 tablespoons red onion: sliced, ⅛” thick
- 1 tablespoon capers
- 2 teaspoons dill leaves
Instructions
- Toast the bread: In a toaster, heat the bread slices until golden brown. Alternatively, place the sliced bread on a baking sheet and broil them in the oven until golden brown, about 1 to 3 minutes per side.
- Prepare the avocado: Scoop out both sides of the avocado flesh into a small bowl. Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Lightly mash with a fork, leaving some chunks to maintain texture.
- Spread the cream cheese: Evenly distribute the cream cheese over the toasted bread slices.
- Layer the avocado mixture: Spoon the avocado mixture evenly on top of the cream cheese for that creamy layer.
- Add the sliced veggies: Place the sliced tomatoes and cucumbers on top of the avocado layer.
- Top with smoked salmon: Add the smoked salmon, then layer with red onion, capers, and dill leaves.
- Season to taste: Add a final touch of black pepper to bring out all the flavors.
Notes
- Make sure to use ripe avocados; they should be slightly soft to the touch but not mushy.
- If you prefer a bit of extra crunch, you can lightly drizzle olive oil over your bread before toasting it.
- Smoked salmon can vary in saltiness. Taste it beforehand and adjust the salt in the avocado mixture accordingly.
