Avocado Toast with Egg, Ham and Arugula

Whole grain bread is toasted then topped with creamy avocado, spicy arugula, smoked ham and a runny egg.

If avocado toast is so 2013, then call me old school because this girl can’t quit it. The ultimate 6 minute breakfast recipe, my boys love it just as much as I do these days!

While avocado toast on its own is perfectly delicious, I love topping it with spicy arugula leaves, smoky, thick-cut ham and a runny fried egg.

As you crack into the yolk, the creaminess pairs perfectly with the velvety avocado. Packed with omega-3’s and healthy nutrients found in the yolk, this breakfast is packed with energy to keep you going all day long. 

If you want to skip the ham, feel free to double up on the eggs. Smoked turkey or bacon works great too, of course.

No forks required.
