I am not sure on the name of this recipe!

I’ve been torn between pie and souffle because these little broccoli and ricotta treats are soft and creamy like a souffle however they are not made like a souffle…

so after struggling I decided to call them simply pies, as souffle might have tricked someone into believing he was making a souffle, which, well, would have not been true…tho they are not  pies ether as….oh….whatever. Who cares, right?

Let’s just cook!

oh I want to tell you one more thing.
