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.

This pie was amazing! It was easy to make, and it turned out perfectly. The crust was flaky and golden brown, and the filling was creamy and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pie didn't turn out well. The filling was too runny, and the crust was too thick. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I'll try again another time.

This pie was a bit too rich for my taste, but it was still good. The filling was creamy and flavorful, but the crust was a bit too heavy. I would probably try a different recipe next time.
