Fried Eggs and Ramps image

The ramp, a kind of wild leek that heralds spring, pairs here with eggs for a particularly satisfying meal. Sizzled in a little butter, ramps make stellar scrambled eggs, and for not much more effort, a spectacular cheese omelet. In this recipe, wilted ramps are a great accompaniment for a couple of eggs fried sunny side up, with a pinch of peperoncino.

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 tablespoons olive oil
12 ramps, trimmed but left whole
Salt and pepper
2 large eggs
Red pepper flakes, optional

Steps:

  • Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the ramps and season with salt and pepper.
