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).

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my pie didn't turn out very well. The crust was too thick and the filling was bland.

This was a great way to use up some fiddleheads that I had in my fridge. The pie was easy to make and it turned out delicious.

I'm not a huge fan of fiddleheads, but I thought this pie was pretty good. The bacon and cheese helped to balance out the flavor of the fiddleheads.

The crust was perfect! Flaky and buttery.

The fiddleheads gave this pie a really interesting flavor. I've never had anything like it before.

This pie was a bit too rich for my taste, but it was still very good. I think I would use less cheese next time.

This fiddlehead pie was a delightful surprise! The combination of fiddleheads, bacon, and cheese was perfect, and the crust was flaky and golden brown. I will definitely be making this again!
