Receta Morel & Ramps Frittata - A Michigan Spring Breakfast
Once in Turkey, I asked a young man what made up a typical breakfast. He said, "The usual. goat cheese, olives, tea, an egg, if you wish." If that young fellow were here, and posed the same question to me, I would tell him, "Morels, ramps, eggs, cheese, bacon, French-pressed coffee, a biscuit, if you wish."
This is a glorious time of year and nature has brought forth special seasonal treasures that can be rather pricey in stores and even more pricey in restaurants. We are most fortunate in that these elements are a part of the bounty of Walnut Ridge Farm.
If you can buy morels and ramps - just once - for that 'special breakfast', do so - and serve this frittata with mimosas, fluffy biscuits and honey, and a really good cup of coffee. It will be most memorable!
