A quick and easy spring breakfast recipe featuring tender wild ramps sautéed gently and folded into creamy scrambled eggs with tangy goat cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 bunch wild ramps (about 810 ramps), thoroughly cleaned and roughly chopped
  • 4 large eggs, preferably free-range or organic
  • 2 oz (about 60g) goat cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream or whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Optional: a few chives or parsley leaves, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Rinse ramps thoroughly under cold water to remove dirt. Pat dry with a towel. Chop the bulbs and leaves roughly into bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a mixing bowl, crack 4 large eggs. Add 2 tablespoons of heavy cream (or milk) and a pinch of salt. Whisk vigorously until uniform and slightly frothy. Set aside.
  3. Place a skillet over medium-low heat. Add 1 tablespoon unsalted butter and 1 teaspoon olive oil. Melt gently until butter foams but does not brown.
  4. Add chopped ramps to the pan. Stir gently to coat with butter and oil. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until ramps soften and release aroma. Avoid overcooking.
  5. Lower heat to low. Pour beaten eggs evenly over ramps. Let sit undisturbed for about 15 seconds until edges start to set.
  6. Using a spatula, slowly pull eggs from edges toward center, folding gently to create soft curds. Repeat every 10-15 seconds for 2-3 minutes until eggs are creamy and slightly runny.
  7. Sprinkle crumbled goat cheese evenly over eggs and ramps. Fold gently to incorporate and allow cheese to melt into pockets. Remove from heat immediately.
  8. Taste and adjust salt and pepper. If using, sprinkle chopped fresh herbs like chives or parsley. Serve hot.

Notes

Keep heat low and stir slowly to achieve silky eggs. Use butter and olive oil combo to prevent burning. Add goat cheese at the end to avoid graininess. Avoid overcrowding the pan for even cooking. If ramps are unavailable, substitute with mild spring onions or scallions. For dairy-free, use vegan cheese and plant-based milk.
