A delicious and gluten-free twist on toast
A Fresh, Savoury Start to Your Day

The creamy avocado topping, combined with smoked salmon, creates a satisfying and flavour-packed bite. Perfect for those following a gluten-free diet, this dish is full of fresh ingredients and can be customised to suit your tastes. With minimal effort, you'll have a delicious and healthy breakfast or brunch that feels indulgent but is light enough for any occasion.
Quick and Easy to Make
Start by washing the potatoes thoroughly and trimming the ends to create even edges. Slice each potato in half lengthwise to create two even pieces, about 1 inch thick. Score the top of each slice, then rinse them in ice-cold water to remove excess starch then pat dry.
Carefully score your potato slices before rinsing
Heat olive oil in an oven-proof frying pan and place the potato slices scored side down. Fry until golden, then flip them over.
Flip the potato slices gently to achieve a golden crust on both sides before transferring them to the oven.
Add butter, garlic, and thyme to the pan, sprinkling with salt and pepper to taste. Once the potatoes are well-coated in the butter, pour in vegetable stock and transfer the pan to the oven.
Pour vegetable stock into the pan
While the potatoes are roasting, prepare the avocado topping. Mash the peeled and pitted avocados in a bowl, adding lemon juice and salt to taste. Stir in diced cherry tomatoes, olive oil, and chilli flakes for extra flavour.
Mash the avocado and mix it with fresh cherry tomatoes, lemon juice, and seasonings for a flavourful topping.
Once the potato slices are done, let them cool slightly, then top each one with the smashed avocado mixture. Place a slice of smoked salmon on top, and garnish with red onion slices, chopped chives, a sprinkle of chilli flakes, and a drizzle of olive oil. Enjoy!
Finish your potato toast with a sprinkle of fresh chives for a burst of colour and flavour.
Customisable for Every Taste
Feel free to adjust the toppings and ingredients to your liking! You can switch the smoked salmon for another protein like poached eggs or grilled chicken for a different twist. For a more tangy topping, add a spoonful of Greek yoghurt to the avocado mixture. You can also swap in different herbs or add extra spices to give it your unique flavour profile.

Instructions
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and trim the ends to create even edges. Slice each potato lengthwise into two 1-inch-thick pieces, resembling slices of bread. Score the top of each slice with a knife and rinse them in ice-cold water, then pat dry. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Heat olive oil in an ovenproof frying pan over medium heat. Place the potatoes scored-side down and fry for about 5 minutes until golden. Flip the potatoes, then add butter, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper. Baste the potatoes with the melted butter. Pour in the vegetable stock and transfer the pan to the oven. Roast for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft and tender.
While the potatoes cook, peel and pit the avocados, then mash them in a bowl with lemon juice and salt until smooth. Stir in the diced cherry tomatoes, olive oil, and chilli flakes.
Once the potatoes are ready, allow them to cool slightly. Spread the avocado mixture over each potato slice and top with smoked salmon. Garnish with sliced red onion and chopped chives. Sprinkle with chilli flakes and drizzle with olive oil. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Flavour Variations: For added flavour, you can sprinkle some cheese or a dash of smoked paprika on top before serving. If you prefer a bit of crunch, consider adding a handful of toasted seeds or nuts as a garnish.
Gluten-Free Tip: This dish is naturally gluten-free, but always check the labels of your vegetable stock and smoked salmon to ensure they are gluten-free.
Serving Suggestions: For a more filling meal, serve alongside a fresh side salad or some sautéed greens.
Storage:This dish is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 day.
