Instructions

Prepare the bread: Cut the baguette into 4-inch pieces and then slice each piece vertically in half. Toast each piece for about 3 minutes until crispy and lightly golden to create the perfect base for the toppings.
Whisk the eggs: Crack the eggs into a large bowl, season with sea salt and black pepper, and whisk them thoroughly until combined and slightly frothy to ensure fluffy scrambled eggs.
Cook the eggs and spinach: Heat a nonstick fry pan over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. After 2 minutes, add the fresh spinach and cook until it wilts. Pour the whisked eggs into the pan and let them set for about 1 minute before stirring gently every 30 seconds. Continue cooking for about 3 minutes until the eggs are softly scrambled, then remove from heat.
Prepare the tomato bread: Cut the garlic cloves in half and rub the cut sides over the toasted baguette pieces to infuse them with garlic flavor. Then, rub fresh ripe tomatoes over the toast. Season with sea salt and drizzle with some extra virgin olive oil to bring out the authentic Catalan tomato bread taste.
Assemble and garnish: Top each piece of tomato bread with a generous portion of the creamy scrambled eggs cooked with spinach. Finish by sprinkling freshly chopped chives on top for a fresh and aromatic touch. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

Use ripe tomatoes for the best authentic flavor in the Catalan tomato bread.
To make the scrambled eggs fluffier, avoid overcooking and stir gently.
For a vegan option, substitute eggs with tofu scramble and omit the chives if desired.
Adjust seasoning with sea salt and black pepper according to your taste preference.
Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and freshness.
