02 - While eggs cook, toast the bread slices in a toaster or grill until golden and crisp on both sides.
03 - In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until emulsified and smooth.
04 - In a large bowl, toss mixed greens and cherry tomatoes with half of the dressing until lightly coated.
05 - Arrange toasted bread on serving plates. Top each with sliced avocado and dressed greens, distributing evenly between servings.
06 - Halve the soft-boiled eggs and place on top of each plate. Drizzle with remaining dressing and garnish with chopped chives and flaky sea salt. Serve immediately.
