1-Getting this buttery tomatoes cheese toast just right involves a few easy steps that build layers of flavor, starting with broiling the tomatoes for that smoky touch. First, preheat the broiler to high and arrange the 6 ounces of cherry tomatoes and 1 peeled and sliced shallot on a baking sheet, broiling for 12-15 minutes until they are charred and softened. Let them cool while you move on to the next part.

2-Next, preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line another baking sheet with parchment paper, then bake the 2 ounces of prosciutto for 7-8 minutes until it’s crispy. Break it into small chunks once it’s done. In a food processor, puree the cooled tomatoes, shallots, ½ teaspoon fresh thyme, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes until smooth, then mix in the ½ cup of softened butter at room temperature to create the flavorful spread.

3-Spread the tomato butter on the 4 slices of crusty bread, top with the 4 ounces of grated gruyere cheese, and bake for 3-4 minutes until the cheese melts. Meanwhile, beat the 8 large eggs and cook them as scrambled eggs in 1 tablespoon of butter, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. For added depth, top the baked toasts with the scrambled eggs, crispy prosciutto, and 1 tablespoon of chopped chives before serving immediately. The whole process takes about 30 minutes, including all the prep and cooking time.
