Crustless Artichoke, Kale and Ricotta Tart

This has to be the easiest tart in the world to make.

I was skeptical at first, since there is no cream, no herbs or spices and really, who likes kale to begin with?

It's not the prettiest tart either, but the combination works well and it's a nice healthy lunch with some soup. You can also make it with Swiss chard and they are both good hearty greens to use.

I love crustless quiches, because they taste great the next day at room temperature without worrying about soggy crust!

There are only 6 ingredients in this recipe so go for it! It takes no time to put together!
