Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 5 eggs
- 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 5 ramps, diced
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Cooking
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
- Prepare the eggs: Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and beat them thoroughly until the yolks and whites are fully combined, creating a smooth egg mixture.
- Add flavorings: Stir in the crumbled feta cheese, diced ramps, kosher salt, and ground black pepper into the beaten eggs. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Heat the skillet: Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the butter. Melt the butter until it becomes bubbly but not browned, signaling the pan is ready.
- Cook the omelet: Pour the egg mixture into the heated skillet. Let it cook undisturbed for about 4 to 6 minutes until the bottom is set and the top is nearly cooked through. Gently fold one side of the omelet across to the other side, creating a half-moon shape. Cook for an additional 30 seconds to ensure the filling warms through.
- Serve: Carefully remove the folded omelet from the pan and cut it in half. Serve immediately while hot and enjoy the melty feta and ramp flavors.
Notes
- Ramps have a strong garlic-onion flavor; if unavailable, you can substitute with green onions or leeks.
- Be careful not to overcook the omelet to keep it tender and fluffy.
- Use fresh ramps for the best flavor; they are typically in season during spring.
- Using a non-stick skillet can help prevent the omelet from sticking and make folding easier.
- Adjust seasoning to taste, especially if using table salt instead of kosher salt.
