Steps:
- Melt the butter in an ovenproof skillet. Add the breadcrumbs, tossing and toasting over high heat, stirring occasionally to prevent the butter from scorching.
- Toast the crumbs for about two minutes, or until a light golden color.
- Transfer to a plate to cool.
- When cooled, toss toasted crumbs with the grated Gruyere and set to the side.
- Preheat the broiler.
- Melt the remaining butter in the skillet until it just begins to brown.
- Add the ramps, facing them all in the same direction.
- Cook the ramps over high heat, turning occasionally, until they are limp and a light golden color.
- Season with salt and pepper, add the cream, and bring to a simmer (this should take only about one minute).
- Remove the ramps from the heat.
- Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the top of the ramps in the skillet.
- Set the skillet under the hot broiler for only about 30 seconds, or until they are bubbling and brown.
- Serve immediately.
