Fiddleheads are amazing simply steamed for about 10 minutes and then served with butter, apple cider vinegar, and/or a dash of salt!  However, after steaming them we love to add them to many dishes including stir-fry and especially scrambled eggs.  Yum Yum!  Fiddleheads freeze well and make awesome pickles.  Here is another interesting recipe for fiddleheads as well-
