Grilled Ramps Tart | Ginger & Toasted Sesame

Grilled Ramp Tart

You can find ramps at farmers markets and some grocery stores such as Whole Foods in the spring between March-May. If they're out of season or you cannot find any, grilled scallions would also be lovely in this dish.

Ingredients

  • 1 bunch of ramps about 12 stalks, roots trimmed
  • 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil
  • 1 sheet of defrosted puff pastry
  • handful of flour for rolling out the pastry dough
  • 3/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
  • 6 eggs
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon of fresh thyme
  • zest of 1 lemon
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill or grill pan on medium high. Toss the ramps in vegetable oil.
  2. Grill the ramps for about two minutes on each side until slightly charred and wilted. Set aside to cool.
  3. Preheat an oven to 350 degrees.
  4. Whisk the eggs, milk, thyme, lemon zest and salt and pepper to taste until blended well.
  5. Roll out the sheet of puff pastry into a rectangular shape of about 15 x 11 inches in size using a dusting of flour to prevent sticking to the surface and rolling pin.
  6. Carefully press it into a 13 x 9 inch casserole dish folding down the edges inward to create a basin about an inch deep.
  7. Spread grated cheese evenly on over pastry and lay the ramps on top of the cheese.
  8. Slowly pour the egg mixture over the cheese and ramps.
  9. Let the tart bake in the oven for about 30 minutes until the egg is set and the pastry golden.
