Step 1
Toast the 4 bread slices until golden and crisp, about 3-4 minutes per side. Set aside.
Step 2
Bring a large pot of water to a gentle simmer, then add the 1 tbsp white vinegar. Stir to create a whirlpool.
Step 3
Crack each of the 4 eggs into a small cup, then slide one at a time into the simmering water. Poach for 3-4 minutes until whites are set but yolks are still soft. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Step 4
Halve and pit the 2 avocados, scoop the flesh into a bowl, and mash with a fork until chunky. Season with a pinch of salt and half of the 1 tsp black pepper.
Step 5
Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the 4 toasted bread slices.
Step 6
Top each with a portion of the 200g smoked salmon, then place a poached egg on top.
Step 7
Drizzle with the 2 tbsp olive oil, sprinkle with the remaining black pepper, and garnish with the 20g microgreens. Serve immediately.
