This protein-packed salmon toast is the perfect way to start your day or elevate your brunch. With creamy garlic scallion cheese, rich smoked salmon, and a poached egg on top of crispy sourdough, it’s a deliciously satisfying meal that’s full of healthy fats and lean protein. Prep the ingredients ahead of time for a quick, nutritious breakfast that’ll keep you energized all morning long!


Ingredients

Scale
  • Sourdough Bread Slices (1 loaf)
  • Smoked Salmon pkg
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • Jar of Cornishons
  • Jar of Capers
  • Red Onion
  • Heirloom Tomato
  • Scallions
  • Garlic, 2 cloves
  • fresh dill, optional
  • black pepper
  • flaky salt

Instructions

  1. Toast the bread: Start by toasting your bread slices until they’re golden brown. Let them cool slightly before applying the cream cheese.
  2. Prepare the cream cheese: While the bread is toasting, let your cream cheese soften at room temperature. Once soft, transfer it to a bowl and smooth it out. Add 1/4 cup of sliced scallions, 2 minced garlic cloves, and a generous sprinkle of salt and pepper. Mix everything together and set aside.
  3. Poach the eggs: Prepare your poached eggs and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess moisture.
  4. Prep the toppings: Slice the red onion thinly, cut the tomato into medium-thick slices, and season the tomato with a pinch of salt. Place the tomatoes in the fridge to chill. Slice the cornichons thinly.
  5. Assemble the toast: Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture on each slice of toasted sourdough. Top with two slices of tomato, followed by a layer of smoked salmon. Sprinkle on the red onion, cornichons, and capers.
  6. Finish the dish: Add a poached egg on top, and garnish with fresh dill. Finish with a sprinkle of black pepper and flaky sea salt.

This elk rack from @firstlight.farm hit the spot.

Here’s how I cooked it up:
• Avocado oil, salt + pepper
• Roast at 450° for 15 min
• Lower to 350°, cook 15–20 min until 130° internal
• Rest 15 min, slice and enjoy

Here are my top tips to reverse searing a steak:
• Use a meat tenderizer to ensure optimal texture and salt absorption
• Salt both sides + wire rack overnight for the best crust
• Bake at 250° until the internal temp hits 120°
• Pat dry + sear in a hot pan with avocado oil, flipping often until it reaches 130–135° for a nice medium-rare
• Rest 10 minutes, then slice

This method never misses 🔥🥩

Finally tried @trulypizza in Dana Point and it lived up to the hype! They ferment the crust so it has a sourdough light and airy vibe to it, but is super crispy and delicious. Highly recommend this spot!

High Protein Yogurt Bowl Recipe

Here’s one of my go-to high protein snacks when I’m craving something sweet and filling. A paleoish dessert or snack idea that takes minutes to make.

Recipe
170g full-fat unsweetened Greek yogurt
1 scoop vanilla @getpaleopro protein powder
1/2 tbsp maple syrup
Sprinkle of sea salt
2 tbsp pumpkin or sunflower seeds
1/4 cup walnuts
Handful of blueberries and strawberries
Small handful of dark chocolate chips
How to make it:
Mix the yogurt with maple syrup, then stir in the protein powder and sea salt. Add all your toppings and it’s ready to eat.
What I like about @getpaleopro is that their protein is made from beef protein, collagen, and egg whites, so it’s paleo friendly, easy to digest, and keeps you full.
