Open-Faced Sandwich with Ricotta, Arugula and Fried Egg

Come on, you can do better than having smashed bacon, egg and cheese behind the wheel. Yes, this meal does require a fork and a knife, but will surely be worth the time you take to sit and savour this meal.

Toast bread, add some butter if you prefer. Then add spicy arugula, which is a great source of vitamin K that is beneficial for blood clotting. Next, put an egg and salty ricotta, which is known to have more protein than cottage cheese.
