Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, beat the eggs with the crème fraîche, grated cheddar, snipped chives, and a pinch of seasoning until well combined.
  2. Step 2: Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the sliced spring onion and cook for a few minutes until softened.
  3. Step 3: Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the pan and warm through gently for 1-2 minutes.
  4. Step 4: Pour the egg mixture into the pan. Cook over low heat, stirring gently and continuously, until the eggs are just set but still creamy.

Tips & Variations

  • For extra creaminess, add a splash of milk or cream to the egg mixture before beating.
  • Try adding a pinch of smoked paprika or chili flakes for a subtle kick.
  • Substitute cheddar with goat cheese or feta for a different flavor profile.
  • Swap crusty bread for sourdough or rye for varied texture and taste.

Storage

This dish is best enjoyed fresh, but if needed, store leftover scrambled omelette separately in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 day. Reheat gently in a pan over low heat or in the microwave to avoid overcooking the eggs. Toast should be kept separate to remain crisp.

How to Serve

On top of the bread, there is a generous layer of scrambled eggs mixed with green herbs and black pepper, giving a soft, fluffy, and slightly creamy texture.

Some scrambled eggs and tomatoes spill over the edges onto the plate, creating a natural and inviting look. The overall colors are warm yellows, fresh reds, and light browns with small green flecks.

Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tbsp crème fraîche
  • 25g cheddar, grated
  • small bunch chive, snipped
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Vegetables and Toast

  • 1 tsp oil
  • 1 spring onion, sliced
  • 34 cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 slices crusty bread, toasted

Instructions

  1. Prepare the egg mixture: In a bowl, beat together the eggs, crème fraîche, grated cheddar, and snipped chives. Season with a little salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
  2. Sauté the spring onion: Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the sliced spring onion and cook gently for a few minutes until softened, but not browned.
  3. Add and warm the tomatoes: Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the pan with the spring onions and cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing them to warm through and soften slightly.
  4. Cook the egg mixture: Pour the prepared egg mixture into the pan with the vegetables. Reduce the heat to low and cook gently, stirring occasionally, to scramble the eggs and allow them to set softly without overcooking.

Notes

  • Use fresh chives for the best flavor and a mild oniony note.
  • Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper according to your preference.
  • You can substitute crème fraîche with sour cream or yogurt if unavailable.
  • For extra freshness, add a few basil leaves or a sprinkle of chopped parsley as a garnish.
