| Fresh chili pepper | 1 |
| Cherry tomatoes | 90g |

Instructions:
-
Prepare the Spring Onions:
Begin by cleaning the spring onions. Trim off the green tops, then finely chop the white parts. Heat a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil in a pan, and sauté the spring onions on medium heat for about 6-7 minutes until they become soft and translucent. Season with salt and pepper. Once done, set them aside in a bowl. -
Roast the Cherry Tomatoes:
In the same pan, add the cherry tomatoes and lightly roast them for a couple of minutes until they soften and start to burst. This adds a beautiful sweetness to the bruschetta. -
Prepare the Fresh Chili:
Slice the fresh chili pepper in half, remove the seeds, and set it aside for garnish later. If you prefer a less spicy dish, you can remove the seeds entirely. Chop the chili into thin slices for a kick of heat in each bite. -
Scramble the Eggs:
In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them with a pinch of salt and pepper. Heat a little more olive oil in the same pan and pour in the beaten eggs. Cook them on moderate heat, stirring gently to scramble. Once they begin to set, remove them from the heat. The residual heat will finish cooking the eggs, ensuring they stay soft and creamy. -
Prepare the Avocado:
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Using a small knife, score the avocado into horizontal and vertical lines, making it easier to scoop out the flesh with a spoon. Once the avocado is in chunks, drizzle it with lemon juice to prevent it from browning. Finely chop or mash the avocado with the back of the spoon to create a smooth, creamy spread. -
Toast the Bread:
Slice the loaf of bread into thick slices. Toast the bread until golden brown and crispy, either in a toaster or on a grill pan. -
Assemble the Bruschette:
Now it’s time to assemble! Take a slice of the toasted bread and generously spread the creamy avocado mixture over the top. Layer the scrambled eggs next, followed by the roasted cherry tomatoes. For a final touch, garnish with the sliced fresh chili for a pop of color and a spicy kick. -
Serve and Enjoy:
Serve these beautifully crafted bruschette immediately. The combination of the creamy avocado, warm scrambled eggs, sweet tomatoes, and spicy chili will bring a burst of flavors that are perfect for a brunch treat!
Serving Suggestions:
