Vermont Fiddlehead Pie image

Fiddleheads are ferns that one picks in the spring. Wash and clean them to remove the paper thin membrane that clings to the coiled fern (looks like the head of a fiddle - hence the name).

This pie looks like a lot of work. I'm not sure if I'm up for it.

I'm allergic to dairy, so I made this pie with a vegan cheese. It turned out great!

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover fiddleheads. I had some leftover from a stir-fry and they worked perfectly in this pie.

I've made this pie several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. It's perfect for potlucks or picnics.

This pie was a bit too rich for my taste, but it was still good. I would probably make it again with a different type of cheese.

I'm not a huge fan of fiddleheads, but I thought this pie was pretty good. The crust was especially good.

This is a great recipe for a springtime pie. The fiddleheads are in season and they add a wonderful flavor to the dish.

This fiddlehead pie was a hit at my dinner party! The crust was flaky and golden brown, and the filling was creamy and flavorful. The fiddleheads added a unique and delicious touch.
