Elevate your avocado toast with smoked salmon and eggs

As a child, my Sunday mornings were often filled with the delicious aroma of my mother’s homemade Eggs Benedict. She would carefully prepare each ingredient with love and attention, from the perfectly poached eggs to the tangy hollandaise sauce.

But it wasn’t until I moved out on my own and started experimenting with my own twists on the classic recipe that I discovered the magic of adding avocado and smoked salmon. The creamy avocado added a rich and velvety texture, while the smoky salmon added an unexpected depth of flavor.

I’ve since made this version of Eggs Benedict my own, and it has become a staple at my weekend brunch gatherings. Every time I make it, I’m transported back to those cozy Sunday mornings with my family. And I love watching the delight on my friends’ faces as they take their first bite of this delicious and unique twist on a classic dish.

Whether you’re a brunch enthusiast or just looking for a new and delicious breakfast option, I highly recommend giving this recipe a try. It’s sure to become a new favorite!
