- Number of servings:
Ingredients:
- 3 ripe, fresh avocados, halved, pitted, peeled and divided
- 1/2 cup avocado oil or extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup water
- 4 tsp. Dijon mustard
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
- 4 large eggs
- 4 whole grain English muffins
- 4 ounces smoked salmon, sliced
- 1 Tbsp. fresh chives, chopped
Instructions:
- To make the Avocado “Butter” Sauce, place 2 1/2 of the avocados, oil, lemon juice, water, mustard, salt, and pepper in a blender or food processor. Cover and blend until smooth. Transfer to a small serving bowl; cover and refrigerate.
- Heat 1-inch of water in a nonstick pan over medium high heat. Bring water to a gentle simmer and break eggs in, gently. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes or until done as desired. Remove with slotted spoon and place on paper towel to drain.
- While eggs cook, halve and toast English muffins. Place on four serving plates. Spoon 1 Tbsp. of the Avocado “Butter” Sauce on the bottom of each English muffin half. Cut the remaining half avocado into thin slices. Layer the bottom half of each English muffin with smoked salmon, avocado slices and eggs, dividing evenly. Serve open-faced or as a sandwich. Top with additional sauce and chopped chives.
Notes & Tips:
Use any remaining avocado sauce within 3 days.
