ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

- salt
- fresh ground white pepper, to taste

directions
- Melt the butter in an ovenproof skillet. Add the breadcrumbs, tossing and toasting over high heat, stirring occasionally to prevent the butter from scorching.

- Add the ramps, facing them all in the same direction.
- Cook the ramps over high heat, turning occasionally, until they are limp and a light golden color.
- Season with salt and pepper, add the cream, and bring to a simmer (this should take only about one minute).
- Remove the ramps from the heat.
- Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the top of the ramps in the skillet.
- Set the skillet under the hot broiler for only about 30 seconds, or until they are bubbling and brown.
- Serve immediately.

We utterly adore ramps; DH dug an entire bushel this year. I wanted something different than the same old deep-fried or ground into hamburgers and was pleased to see this. Unfortunately, we were disappointed. If I were to make this again, I would cut the ramps into 2" pieces or so because they were so stringy and impossible to cut and/or chew. Thanks for posting though!
