For years our parents have said that breakfast is the most important meal of the day and there is scientific proof that skipping it can be detrimental impact on the rest of your day. Given the choice between 30 extra minutes of sleep and cooking breakfast, we would hedge our bets that sleep wins. But what if we told you that you could get a delicious, filling and dare we say nutritious breakfast on the table quicker than it takes to wash your face?
Let us introduce you to Prosciutto Avocado Toast. Jackie Gillum of SnackieGillum fame continues to work her magic on the first meal of the day. Last time around, we had Jackie focus on brunch for Dad with her delicious pancakes. However, few of us have the luxury of time in the morning, so we asked Jackie to create a delicious and fast morning meal that can even be eaten on the go. Enter, Jackie’s version of the ultimate breakfast sandwich and it could not be easier to make.
