Vermont Fiddlehead Pie image

Vermont Fiddlehead Pie presented by The Combes Family Inn. Spring and fiddleheads are synonymous in Vermont. Ruth picks these in nearby fields as the Vermont countryside makes its annual transition from Mud to Green. Once the ferns have been washed and cleaned, after removing the paper thin membrane that clings to the coiled fern, they are sautéed with fresh garlic and herbs or blanched before freezing for later use in casseroles and pies. Broccoli or zucchini may be substituted for fiddleheads. Just remember that Vermonters do not eat quiche so this is called a pie.

I'm not sure about this recipe. Fiddleheads are a bit of an acquired taste. I'm not sure if I would like them in a pie.

This pie is a great way to use up leftover fiddleheads. I usually make it in the spring when fiddleheads are in season. It's also a great dish to bring to potlucks or picnics.

I've made this pie several times now and it's always a hit! The fiddleheads give it a unique and delicious flavor. I usually serve it with a side of roasted vegetables or a salad.

I'm not a huge fan of fiddleheads, but I thought I would give this pie a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The fiddleheads were cooked perfectly and the filling was creamy and flavorful. The crust was also very good. I would definitely recommend this

This pie was just okay. The fiddleheads were a bit too chewy for my taste, and the crust was a bit too thick. I think I would have preferred a thinner crust and more flavorful filling.

I really wanted to love this pie, but I was ultimately disappointed. The crust was a bit too dry and the filling was bland. I think I may have overcooked it, so I'll try again with a lower temperature next time.
