Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large eggplant (about 1 pound), cut into 3/4-inch chunks
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 large tomatoes, cut into 3/4-inch chunks
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme, plus leaves for garnish
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
1 medium onion, halved and sliced 1/4 inch thick (3 cups)
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 zucchini (1 pound), cut into 3/4-inch chunks
2 yellow bell peppers (14 ounces), stems, ribs, and seeds removed, cut into 3/4-inch chunks
8 slices rustic bread
8 large eggs

Steps:

  • Place eggplant in a colander. Season generously with salt; toss to coat evenly. Let drain for 30 minutes. Rinse eggplant, and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Toss tomatoes with 2 tablespoons oil, the thyme, and oregano in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Toss together eggplant, onion, garlic, and 2 tablespoons oil in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Spread vegetables out into an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Toss zucchini and bell peppers in bowl with remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Season with salt and pepper. Spread out into an even layer on another rimmed baking sheet. Roast vegetables, rotating sheets once, until golden and tender, about 45 minutes. Immediately transfer cooked vegetables to tomato-herb mixture. Stir to combine. Let cool.
  • Brush slices of bread with oil. Place on a rimmed baking sheet, and lightly toast in oven, about 2 minutes.
  • Fill a large, shallow saucepan with 4 inches of water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium. When water is barely simmering, break 1 egg into a small bowl. Gently tip bowl, carefully sliding egg into water. Repeat with remaining eggs. Cook until whites are set but yolks are soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer eggs to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Spoon ratatouille over bread slices. Top each with a poached egg, and season with salt and pepper. Garnish with thyme.

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 tablespoons butter
4 garlic cloves (2 cloves finely chopped, 2 thinly sliced)
8 (1 inch) thick round slices baguette
2 teaspoons dried herbes de provence (or dried thyme leaves)
1/2 cup grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese
salt
1 1/2 lbs eggplants, 1/2-inch dice
2 red bell peppers
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 lb small zucchini, 1/2 inch dice
2 medium onions, 1/2-inch dice
2 sprigs fresh rosemary, finely chopped
fresh ground black pepper
1 (28 ounce) can san marzano tomatoes (for sweeter stew or diced fire roasted tomatoes for smokier stew)
1 tablespoon aged balsamic vinegar
4 extra large eggs
fresh basil leaf, torn (about a handful)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Melt the butter in small pot over low heat, add the 2 cloves of chopped garlic. Saute the garlic for 2 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl add the bread, 1 teaspoon dried herbes or thyme, about 1/3 palmful and the cheese. Drizzle the garlic butter over the bread mixture and arrange the croutons on parchment lined baking sheet. Bake until golden and evenly brown, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool. Croutons may be stored in an airtight container for a couple of days in a cool place.
  • Salt the eggplant and drain it in a colander for30 minutes to remove the bitterness from the eggplant.
  • Meanwhile, blacken the skins of the red peppers over open flame on the stove or under a hot boiler. If broiling, leave the oven ajar to allow the steam to escape. Put the blackened peppers in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let cool. Peel, seed and dice the peppers.
  • While peppers cool, heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat with extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan. Add the eggplant, zucchini, remaining sliced garlic, onions, rosemary and remaining 1 teaspoon of herbes or dried thyme. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, then cover the pot and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Crush the tomatoes by hand and add them to the pot. Stir in the red peppers and 1/2 tomato-can of water and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes to concentrate the flavors. Cool and store for a make-ahead meal.
  • To serve, bring the ratatouille back to a simmer over medium heat, covered, then uncover and stir in the balsamic vinegar. Make 4 nests or wells in the ratatouille and crack an egg into each nest. Cover the pot and cook the eggs to desired doneness, about 2 to 5 minutes. Scoop the ratatouille and eggs into shallow bowls and top with croutons and torn basil.

RATATOUILLE BAKED EGGS



Ratatouille Baked Eggs image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

One 24-ounce jar prepared tomato sauce
1 tablespoon dried oregano
2 cups Ratatouille Grilled Vegetables, recipe follows
4 large eggs
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Grated Parmesan, for garnish
Grilled bread, for serving
1 medium zucchini, thinly sliced lengthwise
1 medium yellow squash, thinly sliced lengthwise
1 red bell pepper, seeded and quartered
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Place a low-sided pan over medium heat. Add the tomato sauce and oregano and cook until warmed through, about 5 minutes. Stir in the Ratatouille Grilled Vegetables.
  • Use a spoon to create 4 craters, then crack an egg into each crater. Cover the pan and cook until the egg whites are set and the yolks are still slightly runny, 8 to 10 minutes. Garnish with the fresh parsley and Parmesan and serve with grilled bread for dipping.
  • Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
  • Season the zucchini, squash, bell pepper and onion with the olive oil and some salt and pepper. Grill until grill marks appear and the vegetables are slightly tender but still a little al dente, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and cut into bite-size pieces.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe and flavorful vegetables: The quality of your vegetables will greatly impact the taste of your ratatouille. Look for ripe, firm, and brightly colored eggplant, zucchini, and tomatoes.
  • Cut the vegetables evenly: This will help them cook evenly. Cut the eggplant and zucchini into 1/2-inch cubes, and the tomatoes into 1-inch cubes.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the vegetables, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will make them more likely to stick.
  • Season the vegetables well: Be generous with salt and pepper when seasoning the vegetables. This will help to bring out their flavor.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is an essential ingredient in ratatouille. Use a good quality extra virgin olive oil for the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: The vegetables in ratatouille should be cooked until they are tender but still retain their shape. Overcooking will make them mushy.
  • Serve the ratatouille hot or at room temperature: Ratatouille can be served hot or at room temperature. If you are serving it hot, top it with a poached egg for a delicious and protein-packed meal.

Conclusion:

Ratatouille is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or a side dish. It is a great way to use up summer vegetables and is a perfect meal for a vegetarian or vegan diet. With its vibrant colors and flavors, ratatouille is a dish that is sure to impress your guests.
