Avocado Toast The Series - Yahoo Recipe Search
YummlyI’ve been obsessed for a while with a British TV show called Downton Abbey. Not only do I go on weekend-marathons of the series, but I love to research facts of the time, especially, when it comes to the food and what better staple of the British-food than tea-time, which convey savory and sweets. Having Downton Abbey in mind I wanted to go on a sandwich-journey. I didn’t want to just make regular sandwiches, I wanted some glamour in it, and of course, I ate these while running a marathon of the series. “Shall we have tea now?” A few years ago, I made a dinner, and I came up with a salmon and avocado salad, which flew from the serving plate; with that recipe in mind I created this canapé.

Recently, my husband Tad and I figured out that if we wanted to be able to get a table for four on the weekends at our favorite local spot—Iris Cafe—we needed to arrive just before 9 am. We've managed to do it but it's not pretty. One of our kids usually leaves the house half pajama'd, and we end up sprint-walking -- no stopping to indulge one's curiosity in a sidewalk crack! -- there. But it's worth it so we can sit, each in our own seat, and stare at each other, half awake, as we gulp coffee and eat soft-boiled eggs with mashed avocado on toast. Iris Cafe, in many respects, is the consummate cafe. It's on an obscure street in Brooklyn Heights, so there's no street traffic. And this means all of its customers are devotees, who make it their destination. The room is relaxed like worn-in jeans, the coffee is delicious (Stumptown), they sell local eggs and dairy (Brooklyn badge of honor), and the food is exceptionally good. On Tuesdays, when we do our weekly photo shoot at my apartment, we occasionally get take-out from Iris Cafe (dinner roll and chocolate cake weeks need lunch supplements!). One of the food52 team favorites is the Curried Smoked Turkey Salad. So, for my second installment of the Counterfeit Cook Office Lunch Series, Iris Cafe's owner, Rachel Graville, shared the recipe.
