Fiddlehead Frittata
- 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
- Clean fiddleheads, removing brown fuzz. Then cook in boiled water for about 10 minutes. Rinse and trim ends.
- Meanwhile, saute minced garlic and sliced mushrooms in olive oil, until tender. I recommend using an oiled cast iron pan.
- Add cooked fiddleheads, salt and pepper, cook a few more minutes until everything is tender but not mushy.
- Lower heat, add chopped parsley if using.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt. Add cheese-okay to leave dollops.
- 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.
- Finish cooking under broiler, 3 minutes or so. Serve hot or room temperature.
