Melt the butter in a 6−quart stock pot over medium−high heat. Add the ramps.  
Season with salt and black pepper. Saute until the ramps are wilted and  
soft, about 6 minutes. Add the bay leaf and garlic, stirring for 2 minutes.  
Add the stock and potatoes and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat  
to medium and simmer, uncovered, until the potatoes are very soft and the  
mixture is thick and creamy, about 1 hour. Remove the soup from the heat.  
Discard the bay leaf. Slowly add the cream. Stir to blend. Reseason the  
soup. Brush each side of the bread with the truffle oil. Place a piece of  
cheese on top of four slices of the bread. Place the remaining slices of  
bread on top of the cheese. Place the sandwiches on the hot griddle. Grill  
the sandwiches for 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until golden and the  
cheese has melted. Cut each sandwich into five finger−size slices. Serve the  
sandwiches with the soup. This recipe yields 10 servings.
