8 ingredients
7 steps

Ingredients

  • 6 eggs
  • 1 cup fiddleheads
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms (morels would be ideal)
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 4 ounces ricotta or cream cheese
  • 2 sprigs chopped parsley (optional)
  • 1 splash olive oil
  • 1 pinch salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

  1. 1
    Clean fiddleheads, removing brown fuzz. Then cook in boiled water for about 10 minutes. Rinse and trim ends.
  2. 2
    Meanwhile, saute minced garlic and sliced mushrooms in olive oil, until tender. I recommend using an oiled cast iron pan.
  3. 3
    Add cooked fiddleheads, salt and pepper, cook a few more minutes until everything is tender but not mushy.
  4. 4
    Lower heat, add chopped parsley if using.
  5. 5
    In another bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt. Add cheese-okay to leave dollops.
  6. 6
    Add egg mixture to the vegetables, stir just a bit if not evenly distributed. Cook over low-med heat until eggs begin to set, around 10 minutes.
  7. 7
    Finish cooking under broiler, 3 minutes or so. Serve hot or room temperature.
