Ingredients

6 oz ricotta cheese, part skim

4 large eggs, beaten

1 dash pepper

6 tbsps fresh basil, coarsely chopped

1 tbsp olive oil

3 oz canadian bacon, finely julienned

6 tbsps chopped fresh chives

6 tbsps fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

1.	Heat oil in a 9" non-stick skillet over medium heat.
2.	Add remaining ingredients to hot skillet; stir occasionally with a wooden spoon until eggs are set and only the surface is runny, about 3 minutes.
3.	Flip frittata out onto a plate so browned side is face-up. Slide frittata back into skillet and cook until second side is slightly browned, about 3 minutes more. (Note: If you do not want to flip the frittata, you can finish cooking it in the oven using an ovenproof skillet. Broil until slightly browned, about 2 to 3 minutes.)
4.	Slide frittata out of pan and cut into 8 wedges; serve immediately.
5.	Note: you can leave out the Canadian bacon to make it a vegetarian meal.
