Fancy Breakfast Toast
What started as a breakfast staple
turned into one of the best gourmet meals i've ever experienced
I have never been one for open faced sandwhiches of any kind. Like, why eat only a half sandwhich when you can eat the whole thing? So when I was out with some friends for brunch one morn-- ok let's be honest here -- one afternoon, I didn't understand why they ordered the fancy breakfast toast.
At that moment, I decided that was going to be my next culinary adventure. So, I headed down to my local Publix to gather some ingredients.
One loaf of crusty sourdough (yes please), one avocado, some smoked salmon, hardboiled eggs(don't judge me), a red onion, and one package of goat cheese.
How it started:
I didn't have a recipe, so I just kind of threw some things together for this, which I would suggest you do the same, it worked very well. I just used stuff I already knew I liked.
How it went:
So, I sliced the sourdough and lightly toasted one side under the broiler and then heavily toasted the other side. I pulled that out of the oven and put it aside, next I mashed some avocado and added one hardboiled egg to that mix. Meanwhile I had sliced the red onion and coated it in some vinegar - balsamic to be exact. Then I layered the avocado/egg mixture with some smoked salmon and the vinegared red onion and then crumbled the goat cheese on top. I put that back under the broiler for just a few minutes and then added a freshly fried over easy egg on top.
How it turned out:
So naturally I really wanted another piece of bread to fill out my new food experiment, but I was able to use the smidge of willpower that I had left in me and didn't. I put it on a plate, sat down, and then wasn't really sure what to do. Do I pick it up? Do I need a knife and fork? Fold it in half? IDK, so I just picked it up and took a big bite.
AMAZEBALLS
