Preheat the oven to 200°C (convection). Place the cherry tomatoes whole on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and bake for 12-15 minutes until lightly caramelized and tender.

Meanwhile, crack the eggs into a bowl, add crème fraîche, a pinch of salt, and a turn of black pepper. Gently whisk with a fork without overmixing — some streaks of white are acceptable for a creamy texture.

Grill the slices of artisanal bread in a toaster or pan with a pat of butter until golden brown and crispy.
- 4
In a small saucepan or thick-bottomed pan, melt the butter over very low heat. Pour in the beaten eggs and stir constantly with a silicone spatula in a circular motion, removing the pan from the heat as soon as the eggs start to set. The eggs should remain bright and slightly runny — they will finish cooking with residual heat.

Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice each half into thin fan shapes without peeling. Gently press to spread the slices into a semi-circle on the plate. Sprinkle with black sesame seeds and a pinch of flaky sea salt.
- 6
Arrange the toasted bread on a large platter or cutting board. Generously spread the scrambled eggs over the grilled bread, then sprinkle fresh chives on top.
- 7
Place the sliced avocado and roasted cherry tomatoes alongside the toast. Add some young shoots for freshness and crunch.
- 8
Prepare the expressos hot and glasses of cold water garnished with a lemon slice. Serve immediately.
💡 Chef's Tip
The secret to perfect scrambled eggs: never cook over high heat. Patience is key — low heat, constant spatula movement, and stopping cooking 30 seconds before they seem ready. Residual heat will do the rest, resulting in a silky, creamy texture that's never rubbery.
