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.
Step 2
Drain the eggs and cool under cold running water for 2 minutes, then peel and slice into 1/4-inch rounds.
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.
Step 4
Halve the 8 cherry tomatoes and arrange them over the toast, cut side up.
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.
Step 6
Optional: add a pinch of paprika or a drizzle of olive oil for extra flavor if you have them.
