Recipe
Make a smooth white sauce of the butter, flour, milk and salt. Add the parsley and chives to the sauce.
In a casserole, alternate layers of ham, cooked fiddleheads, and the white sauce until the dish is filled. Complete it with a layer of the white sauce on top.
Cover the top of the dish with buttered crumbs and bake at 350 degrees F until the sauce is bubbling and the crumbs are browned. This should take about 30 minutes. Serve it with crusty bread, a green salad, and fresh fruit.
