When I opened up Bon Appetit's April issue and saw a beautiful, open-faced sandwich of sauteed ramps and a poached egg, I had to recreate my own version. This recipe is based on the BA sandwich but with key modifications -- namely, the addition of Serbian "ajvar." Ajvar is my absolute favorite condiment of all time and its smoky, sweet quality plays well with the charred ramps and the luxurious egg yolk of a perfectly poached egg. If you can't find ajvar, substitute goat cheese, harissa, tapenade, salsa, or other condiment of choice. Either way, try this while ramps are still available.
