Step 1
Toast the 2 bread slices until golden and crisp, about 3 minutes. Set aside.
Step 2
Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer, add a splash of vinegar if you have it, then crack each egg into a small bowl and slide into the water. Poach for 3-4 minutes until whites are set but yolks are still soft.
Step 3
While eggs poach, mash the avocado with salt and pepper to taste. Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toasted bread.
Step 4
Top the avocado with sliced tomato and a handful of arugula. Remove the poached eggs with a slotted spoon, drain briefly, and place one on each sandwich.
Step 5
Drizzle 1 tbsp of green sauce over each sandwich and serve immediately.
