These open face sandwiches with avocado, egg and smoked salmon are all you need for the perfect quick breakfast, lunch or dinner!
Yes, I realize that these Open Face Sandwiches with Avocado, Egg and Smoked Salmon have a ridiculously long name. I really need to come up with something clever to call them, like the Egg McSalmon, or the Guacascramble. Not that those are clever at all.
I just can’t wrap my brain around it, so in the meantime I’m just going to have to call it that crazy name above, and tell you that regardless of what you name it, it still tastes delicious! I made it on one of those nights where I just couldn’t bear to spend more than the 3 minutes it took me to scramble the eggs standing anywhere near a hot cooking device.
Yep, it was 98 degrees outside. 98. Degrees.
On days like that, you are pretty much reduced to salads and sandwiches, which is pretty much fine with me, as I love an excuse for Sandwich Night. In an ideal world, this particular sandwich is AMAZING if you grill the bread on an actual grill…it adds that slightly charred, crispy taste and texture that you can only get on, well, a grill.
But even I couldn’t bring myself to send the Southern husband out to the grill, what with the 98 degrees and all. Nope, this version went in the toaster, which is not quite as wonderful but a whole lot more humane. When it is 98 degrees.
Anyway…while your bread is grilling or toasting, scramble up a few eggs and let them cool a little. Mash up an avocado with a little lime juice.
Now you are about two minutes from a rocking great sandwich that goes like this: bread, spread with mashed avocado, topped with scrambled eggs, garnished with some strips of smoked salmon, with a little fresh ground pepper on top. Sandwich Night. Love it!

These open face sandwiches with avocado, egg and smoked salmon are all you need for the perfect quick breakfast, lunch or dinner!
Ingredients
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- Olive oil
- 1 avocado
- Juice from one lime
- 2 eggs
- 4 ounces smoked salmon, sliced into strips (see note)
- Fresh ground pepper
Instructions
- Brush both side of bread with olive oil, and either grill them on both sides or toast them until they are golden brown. Toasting them is easier, but grilling them gives them an out of this world grilled taste.
- Mash avocado with a few squeezes of lime juice. Set aside.
- Beat the eggs and then scramble them in a skillet over medium heat until they are just set.
- Assemble sandwiches as follows: spread avocado over each slice of bread, top with eggs and a strip or two of salmon, and grind a little black pepper over all.
Notes
Sometimes you can buy smoked salmon ends at your seafood counter, and they are usually a lot less expensive then buying smoked salmon in the package.
Finally ! a "recipe" that I can get all the ingredients here! :)
You could smash the words together and call it the
SAVEGGE Sandwich (salmon avocado egg)
Hmmmm…Guess I'll just have to try this one. I'm not an avocado eater. No dislike. Just never had it. It's on my "To Do" list. It just moved closer to the top of the list, thanks to you! ;-]
I know a lot of folks who don’t eat eggs (they’re allergic, for health reasons, or concerns about animal cruelty). Here’s an awesome site that gives tips on cooking and baking without eggs: http://EggFreeLiving.com
Yum. This is definitely on the list soon.
My suggestion: SmEgA Sandwiches. ;)
Oh dear, Rachel, SmEgA sounds a little too close to "smegma" for me… But these sound great, Kate! I'm a big fan of all those ingredients.
This is my 10-year-old boy's favorite thing to eat for breakfast. It truly is delicious!
Thanks all – keep those suggestions for a title coming, I'm not sure we've hit one yet! :)
Salmon Egg-o-cados?
Avoeggalmons?
SESSA's (Scrambled Egg Smoked Salmon Avocado)?
This is hard.
I like aBroad's "savegge sandwich."
But here it is cold and rainy, and I want a blanket.
this looks delicious!
I think I would just call it heaven and be done.
Looks amazing!
I'm drooling, thank god i'm not in public. ;D Delicious!
That looks divine! Simple fresh and tasty! Can't wait to try it. Thanks :-)
I have to say, Savegge is growing on me. :)
Looks like a great and easy brunchy-lunch option. Thanks!
just.. WOWW… :)
I know – and it's so easy it doesn't seem fair. :)
OMG! I made this tonight and it rocks!
Isn’t it the BEST? :)
Just made this and it was AMAZING!!! Definately going to mention your recipe in my blog!
Thanks Chloe! It’s one of my very favorite I-don’t-feel-like-cooking suppers. Thanks for the mention!
