Instructions

  1. Step 1: Melt 1 tbsp unsalted butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat until shimmering. Add 1/2 cup halved cherry tomatoes and cook for 2 minutes until they soften slightly but retain shape.
  2. Step 2: Whisk 4 large eggs, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper in a bowl. Pour the mixture over the tomatoes in the skillet. Cook gently, stirring occasionally with a spatula, for 3-4 minutes until eggs are set but still moist.
  3. Step 3: Sprinkle 2 tbsp chopped chives over the eggs and stir gently for 30 seconds until the chives wilt and release their aroma. Remove from heat immediately to prevent overcooking.
