"Similar to an asparagus quiche, with fresh fiddlehead fern heads. Buy these fresh in the spring at farmer's markets, or look for them frozen in specialty food stores. BEWARE: Do NOT pick your own unless you are sure of what you are picking. There are ferns that resemble the fiddlehead (ostrich) that are actually bad for you."
