Make an ephemeral spring breakfast using wild ramps to infuse slow-cooked, buttery eggs with a delicate garlic-onion flavor for a farm-to-table aesthetic.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup wild ramps, white and light green parts only, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh chives, minced (for garnish)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Clean the wild ramps thoroughly. Slice the white and light green parts thinly.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs with the heavy cream, salt, and pepper until just combined. Do not over-whisk.
  3. Place a non-stick skillet over low heat. Add the butter and let it melt slowly until it foams slightly.
  4. Add the sliced wild ramps to the melted butter. Cook them gently for 2 to 3 minutes until they soften and release their aroma. Do not let them brown.
  5. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet over the ramps and butter.
  6. Cook the eggs very slowly, stirring constantly with a rubber spatula. Push the cooked egg from the edges toward the center, tilting the pan so the uncooked egg flows underneath.
  7. Continue this low and slow cooking process for 8 to 10 minutes until the eggs form soft, custard-like curds. Remove the pan from the heat while the eggs are still slightly looser than you prefer, as they will continue to cook.
  8. Serve immediately on warm toast or plates, garnished with fresh chives.

Notes

  • For the best texture, keep the heat very low. This slow cooking method is key to achieving a creamy, custard-like result.
  • If you cannot find wild ramps, you can substitute them with the white and light green parts of two small scallions cooked with a small pinch of garlic powder.
  • This recipe is a simple way to create a farm to table aesthetic for your spring breakfast recipes.
