More brunch than lunch but it's Sunday so it works, right? Deconstructed Denver Omelette on tots. Layers and layers of deliciousness. Bake tots according to directions or better yet...waffle them! If you own a waffle maker, put 5 oz defrosted tots for a single serving in hot iron, cook for 9 minutes. Dice ham and cook in skillet until hot and a little brown. Remove and set aside. Add chopped onions and peppers (red, green, or both your choice, it's your omelet) and add to ham. Scramble some eggs (add a little half-n-half for the best eggs.) Grate some nice melting cheese, like Colby-jack (face it, cheddar has flavor but doesn't melt very good, right?) Layer it all up, tots on the bottom, ham/onions/pepper/eggs/cheese. Bake in a 400-degree oven for 10 minutes. Top with a few chopped green onions, for color and another vegetable!
Yes to the Avocado Toast! Have been loving it since before was a thing. Growing up, my neighbor-mom was from Hawaii. She wasn’t the average suburban mom in Charlotte. She made exotic things like smashed avocado on toast for her three boys and me. That was in the 70s so they were the shiny bright green ones big enough to feed us all. She’d mash it with honey and squeezy lemon juice then spread it on toasted whole wheat bread (equally exotic). Sometimes she’d sprinkle cinnamon. I still like those big Florida ones better than Haas. They’re juicier, not as dense, fruity flavor.

I love it! And I remember those big green 1970's avocados too! I'm going to look for some around town! Thanks for sharing!
