Wa-S-Di(Ramps)
A flavorful wild ramp and egg scramble with bacon or ham, perfect for breakfast or brunch. Combines the mild onion-like flavor of ramps with savory meats and eggs.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Fry the ramps with bacon or ham in a skillet until the ramps are tender and the meat is cooked through.
- Add beaten eggs to the skillet and cook until eggs are set, stirring gently to combine all ingredients.
Tips & Substitutions
When cooking ramps, ensure they are fresh and tender; otherwise, they can be tough. If you can't find ramps, consider using green onions or scallions as a substitute for a milder flavor. For a heartier dish, try adding cheese before the eggs set for a creamy texture. Pairing with a side of toasted bread or a Broiled Cheese Sandwich can elevate the meal.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Wa-S-Di hot, garnished with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for added flavor. It pairs wonderfully with a fresh salad, such as Sensational Layered Salad, to balance the richness of the dish. For a complete breakfast, consider serving with a side of fruit or some crispy toast.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, warm gently in a skillet over low heat to avoid overcooking the eggs. You can also microwave in short intervals, stirring occasionally, but be cautious not to dry them out.
