Welcome to the special 10th edition of our beloved Cringey Kitchen. That’s right, we made it all the way to 10 and we haven’t run out of ideas yet. We have at least 2 or 3 ideas left. Pretty amazing.
For this special edition, we are actually going back in time. That’s right, get your time machine out because we are going way back. All the way to what started it all. 8 months ago.
Before we annoyed each other by taking progress pics of food, Chef T and I made this meal. After making this we thought, “hey that’s pretty good.” Now it’s time for us to share it with you, one thin slice of salmon at a time.
Poaching eggs is tough. I don’t understand why anyone would want to be a poacher. However, now I understand what all those negative news articles are talking about, because if you are good at poaching, you must be using dark magic. That’s the only thing that I can think of.
Making poached eggs and making them look good is an ancient art form that requires careful dedication and focus. I’m currently working on getting my masters in egg poaching. Right now I have only done it once successfully… I think I have a ways to go.
Even if it is successful, put it on the “toast”, slides right off. So just remember, even if you think you are past the most difficult part, there is really no escape from the harsh realities of physics.
There are many ways to switch it up for this meal. The addition of bacon could be a good idea, or substituting bacon in place of salmon. Perhaps add some waffles and sausage patties and maple syrup and mayonnaise. I dunno. Just keep stacking it up.
Keep your eggs on the food, not the floor,

Smoked Salmon Avocado "Toast"
Ingredients
- 2 Potatoes
- 1 Avocado
- ½ lemon’s worth of juice
- Salt
- Pepper
- Olive oil
- 3 oz. Smoked Salmon
- Red pepper flakes
- Parsley to garnish
Instructions
-
Heat a medium pot of water until boiling, make sure to season water with salt. Peel potatoes and slice into ½ inch thick slabs. Boil potatoes for 20 min or until soft enough to pierce with a fork.
-
While your potatoes are boiling, mash your avocados with a fork in a small bowl. Add lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste.
-
After the potatoes are cooked through, remove potatoes from the heat and pour out extra water. Be extra careful not to break any of the slabs of potatoes.
-
In a medium sized pan over medium heat with olive oil, you will fry the potatoes until golden brown on each side.
Getting Served
-
To assemble your avocado toast, place your fried potato on the plate with a spoonful of avocado on top. Layer the smoked salmon on top of the avocado and top it off with a poached egg, red pepper flakes and parsley.
