Why You'll Love This Omelet Recipe

Cheese and eggs are always a good idea, but this omelet is special because it highlights one of springtime's most delicious vegetables - the delicate ramp.

Ramps, also called wild leeks or ramsons, are alliums with a flavor milder than onions but stronger than leeks. They also have garlic undertones.

Ramps appear in early spring and impart great flavor to any dish that calls for green onions. You can forage for them or purchase them at a farmer's market or some specialty grocery stores.

Eggs in a bowl, four ramps, a bowl of feta, butter, and a bowl of salt and pepper.

Ingredients for a Ramp & Feta Omelet

For this recipe, you'll need 5 eggs, a ⅓ cup of crumbled feta cheese, some butter, and a half teaspoon of kosher salt, and a quarter teaspoon of ground black pepper. You'll also need 4 ramps or ½ cup chopped ramps.

If you want to forage your own ramps, here's a guide to sustainably harvesting them. Because of their popularity, ramps have become over-harvested in the wild, and unless you leave the roots in the ground, they won't grow back. The ones I purchased were cultivated and sold by a farmer (hence why they have roots). If you harvest them wild, cut them off above the roots so they'll grow back next year!

Tips for Making this Recipe

Cooking Tips - If your eggs are burning or cooking too quickly on the bottom but not on the top, turn down the heat.

Recommended Tools - We recommend cooking this in a nonstick skillet. It's much easier to scoop and flip half the omelet over.

Storing Tips - This recipe is best served immediately, but if you'd like to save some for later, it will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
