directions

Make the Ital-tots: preheat the oven to 425°; open tots bag and pour four portions onto a nonstick cookie sheet.
Sprinkle the tots with salt and dried seasonings; toss them around a bit to get the herbs to stick to the tots.
Bake the tots about 12 minutes or until crisp; remove from oven and turn the broiler on.
Make the green sauce: add the sauce ingredients to a food processor; process until sauce forms; set aside and reserve.
Prepare the eggs and ham: heat a nonstick skillet over med-high heat; add in olive oil and butter, let the butter melt.
Add in the ham and cook 3 minutes or until lightly browned at edges.
Beat eggs and half-and-half with salt and pepper; add eggs to skillet and scamble up with the ham to desired doneness; remove from heat.
Make the toast:
Toast bread under hot broiler 30 seconds on each side; rub with cracked garlic then spread with butter and top with a sprinkle of cheese.
Stir green sauce into ham and eggs; serve with Ital-tots and Garlic Cheesy Toast on the side.
