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
3–4 cherry tomatoes, halved
2 slices crusty bread, toasted

Instructions

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.
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.
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.
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.
Assemble the toast: Once the eggs are just set and still creamy, pile the scrambled egg and vegetable mixture generously over the toasted crusty bread slices. Serve immediately for a warm and tasty breakfast.

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.
Serve immediately as the eggs can continue to cook slightly on the hot toast, so better to eat fresh.
