Ingredients

• 4 pieces Fresh large eggs
• 1 tablespoon White vinegar
• 4 cups Water
• 100 grams Smoked salmon
• 1 large Avocado
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 2 sprigs Fresh dill (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Fill a medium-sized saucepan with 4 cups of water and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

Step 2

Add 1 tablespoon of white vinegar to the simmering water. This helps the egg whites coagulate quickly.

Step 3

Crack each egg into a separate small bowl to ensure the yolks remain intact. This helps with easy transfer to the water.

Step 4

With a spoon, create a gentle whirlpool in the simmering water by stirring in a circular motion.

Step 5

Gently slide one egg into the center of the whirlpool. This will help wrap the white around the yolk.

Step 6

Cook the egg for about 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk or 5 minutes for a firmer yolk. Use a slotted spoon to remove the egg from the water and gently blot on a paper towel.

Step 7

Repeat for the remaining eggs. Poach them in batches as needed.

Step 8

While the eggs are poaching, slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Slice into thin strips.

Step 9

Arrange 50 grams of smoked salmon on each plate, alongside the avocado slices.

Step 10

Place two poached eggs on each plate, sprinkle with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Step 11

For an optional garnish, place a sprig of fresh dill on top of each serving.

Step 12

Serve immediately for the best texture and taste.
