Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces smoked salmon sliced
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon cream cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill chopped
  • 1 tablespoon capers rinsed and drained
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 sheets of phyllo pastry
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 1 avocado sliced
  • Microgreens for garnish optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  2. Lay out the phyllo pastry sheets on a clean surface. Brush each sheet lightly with melted butter and stack them on top of each other.
  3. Cut the stacked phyllo into squares (about 4 inches each) and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Bake the phyllo squares for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and let cool.
  5. While the phyllo is baking, bring a small pot of water to a simmer. Carefully crack the eggs into the simmering water and poach for about 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
  6. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel to drain.
  7. In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese, dill, capers, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  8. To assemble, layer a phyllo square on a plate, spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture, add a slice of smoked salmon, and top with a poached egg.
  9. Repeat the layers, finishing with another phyllo square on top. Garnish with avocado slices and microgreens if desired.
  10. Serve immediately while the phyllo is crispy.
