Kale Ricotta Waffles/Pancakes
We love getting veggies at breakfast any way we can and waffles are so much fun, but don’t stop at breakfast. These savory waffles/pancakes would also be delicious for dinner with a fried egg or some smoked salmon.
Make ahead and freeze in single serve portions and reheat in the toaster as you would any frozen waffles.
