Blink and they're gone! It looks like ramp season is over here in Toronto which is unfortunate but I certainly did enjoy them over the three weeks that they were available. Last week I pick up a few bunches of them and I was enjoying them for breakfasts during the week. Sometimes the simplest things are the best and this and this breakfast consisting of fried eggs, sauted ramps and a bit of bacon was definitely one of my favourites. Well, I mean you really can't go wrong when you start out with a little bacon and then you cook everything else in the tasty bacon grease and then you finish things off with a runny egg yolk! I served this breakfast along with a side of fiddleheads in a honey dijon vinaigrette.
