Toast the 2 bread slices until golden and crisp, about 3-4 minutes.

Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer, then add the 1 tbsp white vinegar and 0.5 tsp salt.

Crack each of the 2 eggs into a small bowl, then slide them into the simmering water. Poach for 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks are still soft.

Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel.
Step 5
Spread 1 tsp Dijon mustard on each toast slice.

Top each toast with 2 oz smoked salmon and 0.5 cup arugula.
