FRIED EGGS AND RAMPS



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.
