For this eggy brunch or breakfast recipe, don’t be tempted to melt the cheese onto the frittata under the broiler; the nonstick coating in the skillet shouldn’t be exposed directly to such high heat. Just let the cheese melt from the warmth of the frittata after it's cooked. If you've never used them before, ramps are sometimes called “wild leeks.” That’s a bit of a misnomer, based solely on the fact that ramps, a favorite across New England (and Europe) in the spring, have a leek-like flavor, albeit sweeter and milder, if just as fragrant. Look for sturdy stalks and perky leaves, not wilted or limp.
