The garlic-leek flavor of wild ramps is perfectly suited to egg dishes. In this recipe, the eggs are cooked slowly over lower heat, while stirring constantly, to give them a softer, creamier texture.
Ramps are also very tasty in American-style scrambled eggs, if you prefer that texture.
INGREDIENTS
- 2 tbsp Unsalted Butter
- 1 large Wild Ramp
- 2 pinches Truffle Salt (could substitute plain salt)
- 1 tbsp Half & Half or Cream
- 2 large Eggs
- Black Pepper
DIRECTIONS
1
Clean the ramp (how to prep ramps).
2
Separate the ramp bulb from the greens. Thinly slice the ramp bulb. Cut the ramp greens chiffonade (into thin strips).
3
Melt the butter in a frying pan.
4
Beat the eggs together with the cream (or half & half).
5
Add the sliced ramp bulb & truffle salt. Sweat over low heat until softened.
6
Add the ramp top, and cook for about a minute, until wilted.
7
Remove the pan from the heat, then add the eggs.
8
Return the pan to low heat. Stir the eggs in small circles constantly until they’ve cooked to a custard-y consistency with small lumps. Serve.
