Purslane and Ricotta Frittata

Purslane is an edible plant commonly found in many gardens and has been used in cooking since ancient times for its health benefits. Since it's hard to find where I live, when I was on vacation we went to pick it in the countryside at the family land, where it's also known as prchiazz. For this recipe, I have to thank the talented @flavia. The ingredients are: eggs, grated cacioricotta cheese, purslane, salt, and pepper. My version: I adjusted the quantities to my needs, added a couple of basil leaves, and a generous spoonful of fresh ricotta. And here it is! Do you cook with purslane? What do you call it where you live?
