Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium-to-large ripe avocado
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 small romaine lettuce leaf
  • 1 oz smoked salmon
  • 1 teaspoon cooking oil
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ teaspoon black sesame seeds

Instructions

  • Prepare the Avocado: Slice the avocado lengthwise around the pit. Twist the halves apart, carefully remove the pit, and peel away the skin while keeping both halves intact.
  • Trim the Avocado: Cut a thin slice from the rounded bottom of one avocado half to create a flat, stable base. Place it on a cutting board with the hollow side facing up.
  • Season the Avocado: Sprinkle the hollow center of the bottom avocado half with ⅛ teaspoon salt and ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper.
  • Spread the Greek Yogurt: Spoon 1 teaspoon of plain Greek yogurt into the center of the seasoned avocado half. Gently spread it into a thin, even layer.
  • Add the Lettuce: Fold the romaine lettuce leaf to fit over the avocado half. Place it on top of the yogurt, pressing gently so it stays in place.
  • Layer the Smoked Salmon: Arrange 1 ounce of smoked salmon over the lettuce. Fold the salmon into a compact layer so it fits neatly inside the avocado burger.
  • Fry the Egg: Heat 1 teaspoon of cooking oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Crack the egg into the skillet and cook sunny-side up for approximately 3–4 minutes, or until the white is completely set and the yolk remains soft and runny. Do not flip the egg.
  • Add the Fried Egg: Carefully lift the cooked egg from the skillet using a spatula. Place it over the smoked salmon, keeping the yolk intact. Position the egg so it sits evenly on the burger.
  • Complete the Avocado Burger: Gently place the remaining avocado half over the fried egg, rounded side facing up. Adjust the layers carefully to keep the burger balanced.
  • Garnish with Sesame Seeds: Sprinkle ¼ teaspoon of black sesame seeds evenly over the top avocado half.
  • Serve Immediately: Transfer the assembled avocado burger to a serving plate and enjoy while the egg is warm and the avocado is fresh and creamy.
