Soft, glossy scrambled eggs piled onto crisp sourdough toast — a simple, deeply satisfying combination that works as breakfast, brunch, or a quick weeknight supper. The eggs are gently cooked in butter until just set, finished with a scatter of chives, and the contrast between their creamy texture and the crunch of the toast is the whole point.
