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

  • Heat oil in a 9" non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  • 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.
  • 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.)
  • Slide frittata out of pan and cut into 8 wedges; serve immediately.
  • Note: you can leave out the Canadian bacon to make it a vegetarian meal.
