Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
  2. Step 2: Crack 6 large eggs into the skillet, breaking yolks gently with a fork to create soft curds.
  3. Step 3: Add 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes, stirring gently to distribute evenly. Cook for 3-4 minutes until egg edges set but center remains slightly runny.
  4. Step 4: Sprinkle with 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh chives, 1/4 tsp sea salt, and 1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper.
  5. Step 5: Continue cooking for 1 minute, gently folding the eggs until fully set but still moist, about 8-10 minutes total.
