Smoked Salmon & Avocado Toast
From The Kitchen
This is one of those breakfasts that feels a little special without requiring much effort. I often make it on slower mornings when I have time to sit with a cup of coffee and actually enjoy the start of the day. Sometimes the simplest meals become the ones you remember most.

Gina's tip
Add a perfectly poached egg if you're looking for an even more satisfying meal.
Storage: Best enjoyed fresh — assemble just before eating so the toast stays crisp.
A slow morning isn't a luxury, it's maintenance. If you have ten quiet minutes, take them without guilt.
Complete the Meal
Round it out with a Green Salad with Blood Oranges and a Carrot-Orange-Ginger Juice.
I hope this recipe finds a place in your kitchen as it has in mine. Enjoy!
