- 30 g goats cheese
- 1 tbsp Rich Glen Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- flakey sea salt and black pepper
Pickled Onions
- 2 red onions finely sliced
- 1 cup white vinegar
- 1 cup water
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp black peppercorns
Toast
- 300 g smoked salmon
- 2 sourdough slices
- Rich Glen Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- fresh dill
- 2 eggs

Instructions
Avocado Smash
- Add all ingredients into a medium sized bowl and mash together with a fork until all ingredients are well combined yet there is still a bit of texture in your mash.
Quick Pickled Onions
- Thinly slice the red onion with a sharp knife and place into a seal proof jar.
- On a medium heat in a small pot, combine the black peppercorns, vinegar, water andsugar. Bring to the boil then transfer the pickling brine to the jar with the red onion. Fully submerge the onions with the pickling brine and leave for a minimum of 15 minutes before using. Store in the fridge for several weeks.
Toast
- Drizzle each side of your sourdough slices with olive oil and place into a cast iron pan. Cook on a very low heat for roughly 10 - 15 minutes each side.
- Bring a pot of boiling hot water to the boil then reduce the heat to low so the water is at a simmer.
- While waiting for the water to boil, crack an egg into a fine mesh strainer to remove the loose egg whites.
- Stir the white vinegar into the water and create a whirlpool by using a whisk. Drop the egg into the centre of the whirlpool and cook for 2 minutes. If you are cooking multiple eggs at the same time, slightly push the first egg to the side and gently create a whirlpool for the second egg to be dropped into.
- Scoop the egg out and place onto a piece of absorbent paper to drain the excess water.
- Assemble the toast by layering a tablespoon of avocado smash, followed by slices of smoked salmon and then the quick pickled onions. Finish off with a poached egg and sprinkling of fresh dill.
