Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Place the 4 eggs in a saucepan, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, remove from heat, cover, and let sit for 10 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Drain the eggs and cool under cold running water for 2 minutes, then peel and slice into 1/4-inch rounds.

  3. Step 3

    Toast the 4 bread slices until golden and crisp, about 3 minutes. Spread 1/2 tablespoon butter on each slice while still warm.

  4. Step 4

    Halve the 8 cherry tomatoes and arrange them over the toast, cut side up.

  5. Step 5

    Layer the sliced eggs over the tomatoes, then sprinkle with the 2 tablespoons chives, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Serve immediately.

  6. Step 6

    Optional: add a pinch of paprika or a drizzle of olive oil for extra flavor if you have them.
