This is so tasty! If a restaurant has a sandwich with poached egg and salmon on the menu and they have low FODMAP bread, I always order it. The combination of poached egg and smoked salmon is just amazing. Especially when there is also some avocado on the sandwich (1/8 avocado is low FODMAP, so a thin spread of avocado on a sandwich is safe to eat). Last weekend, I finally made a low FODMAP poached egg sandwich with smoked salmon at home. A perfect Easter recipe!

Tip: I never dared to make poached eggs because poaching eggs seemed so difficult to me, but after a bit of Googling I found a very handy tip. Take two plastic sandwich bags, put a bit of olive oil into the bags, so the inside is greasy and break an egg in every bag carefully. Tie the bags and put them into a pan with boiling water (make sure it isn’t boiling too hard, the water shouldn’t bubble). Poach the eggs for about 4 minutes, cut the bags open and remove the eggs carefully. Voilá, perfectly poached eggs! In an earlier blog, I also shared this tip by Pinch of Yum, that also works great if you have a lid of a mason jar.

What do you need (for 4 servings)

• 8 fresh eggs
• 200 g smoked salmon
• 1/2 avocado (1/8 avocado per person is low FODMAP)
• Pepper and salt
• A splash of lemon juice
• 8 slices of sourdough spelt bread
• Optional: rocket lettuce

How to make the low FODMAP poached egg sandwich with smoked salmon

1. Mash the 1/2 avocado with a fork and add a splash of lemon juice and some pepper and salt.
2. Spread the avocado mash on top of the slices of bread.
3. Bring a pan with water to boil. Lower the heat and make sure the water doesn’t bubble. Poach the eggs. In the text above I explained how to do that easily.
4. In the meantime, divide the salmon over the sandwiches and put a bit of rocket lettuce on top.
5. Put a poached egg on each of the slices of bread and sprinkle pepper and salt on top.

Enjoy!
