Kale, Artichoke, and Ricotta Pie

A veggie filled recipe perfect for a springtime brunch or a light dinner

This month's Recipe ReDux theme is for brunch, and I love brunch!

It just reminds me of lazy Sundays with friends and/or family.

I love parties that involve brunch, and it just happens to be that time of year: Graduation parties, baby showers, wedding showers, etc.

Unfortunately, typical brunch fare isn't very healthy...

and vegetables are usually seriously underrepresented.

I decided to fix that problem with my Kale, Artichoke, & Ricotta Pie.

I know that you are concerned that this may be super healthy and not at all worthy of something to serve parties, but I promise you that this is just as good as it is nutritious.

The first batch I made (using this recipe) was a little bland, so I added extra veggies, garlic, onion powder, and red pepper flakes.

I also enjoyed mine with some hot sauce -- I'm a fan of Crystal -- for a little something extra. I always have hot sauce at the ready when eggs are present, though.

Feel free to add any herbs you have; I think thyme, rosemary, parsley, oregano, and/or basil would all be good in this.
