Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) or use a toaster. Slice your sourdough bread to your desired thickness, about 1/2 inch will work well. Place the slices on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven for about 8-10 minutes until they’re golden brown and crispy.
  2. While your bread is toasting, prepare the herbed cream cheese. In a bowl, combine 8 ounces of cream cheese, 1 tablespoon of fresh dill, the juice of half a lemon, and a touch of lemon zest if desired. Blend everything until smooth and creamy.
  3. Once your bread is toasted, cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocado to your desired creaminess while adding a sprinkle of salt and a squeeze of lemon juice.
  4. Spread a generous layer of the herbed cream cheese onto each slice of toasted bread, followed by the mashed avocado.
  5. Lay the thinly sliced smoked salmon over the avocado layer, ensuring an even distribution on each toast.
  6. Personalize your toasts with optional toppings like cucumber slices, capers, or red onion.
  7. Serve your Smoked Salmon Avocado Toasts immediately to enjoy the contrast of creamy textures and vibrant flavors.
