Craving a breakfast that’s both mouthwatering and effortless? This Avocado Toast with Egg, Ham, and Arugula delivers creamy avocado, spicy arugula, smoky ham, and a velvety runny yolk all in under 10 minutes. Packed with protein and healthy fats, it’s a savory, satisfying start to any morning, whether you’re powering through emails or prepping for a weekend adventure.

If you want to skip the ham, feel free to double up on the eggs. Smoked turkey or bacon works great, too.
Ingredients
- Avocado: Creamy in texture, and full of healthy fats and nutrients.
- Ham: I like to use a smoked ham, sometimes a honey ham, layered thin or thick.
- Eggs: I prefer sunny side up, so that the egg yolk is runny, but you could do over easy or over medium as well.
- Arugula: Also called rocket, it’s a bit peppery in flavor.
