Easy Ratatouille With Poached Eggs Recipes

RATATOUILLE WITH POACHED 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.

RATATOUILLE SKILLET EGGS

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the scallion whites, zucchini, eggplant and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the garlic and season with salt and pepper. Continue cooking until the garlic is softened, about 1 more minute.
• Stir the tomatoes, beans (and their liquid) and 1/2 cup basil into the skillet and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to medium low to maintain a gentle simmer. Make 8 wells in the sauce and crack 1 egg into each well; season each with salt and pepper. Cover and cook until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and top with the scallion greens and the remaining 1/2 cup basil. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Serve with the baguette.

RATATOUILLE BAKED EGGS

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.

RATATOUILLE AND BAKED EGGS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place 3/4 cup ratatouille in each of four 2-cup ovenproof baking dishes set on a rimmed baking sheet. With the back of a large spoon, make 2 indentations in ratatouille in each dish. (Alternatively, place 3 cups ratatouille in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and make 8 indentations.) Crack 1 large egg into each indentation. Season eggs with salt and pepper. Bake until egg whites are set, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve with toast if desired.

ROASTED RATATOUILLE AND EGGS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500 degrees, with a large ovenproof skillet on center rack. Cut eggplants in half lengthwise, then crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces (you should have 3 cups). Mince 3 garlic cloves. Remove skillet from oven; carefully add eggplants, tomatoes, peppers, thyme sprigs, minced garlic, capers, and oil (it will spatter). Season with salt and pepper; toss to combine. Roast, stirring twice, until eggplants are soft and tomatoes have burst and are beginning to char, about 15 minutes.
• Make 4 wells in mixture; crack 1 egg into each. Season eggs with salt and pepper. Roast, rotating halfway through, until whites are set but yolks are still soft, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from oven; let stand 3 minutes. Rub toast with remaining garlic clove; drizzle with oil. Serve eggs and ratatouille over toast, sprinkled with thyme.

• Add the tomatoes, then fill the can with water, swirl it around and tip into the pan. Bring to the boil, cover, then simmer for 40 mins, uncovering after 20 mins, until reduced and pulpy.
• Stir the vinegar into the ratatouille, then make 4 spaces for the eggs. Crack an egg into each hole and season with black pepper. Cover, then cook for 2-5 mins until set as softly or firmly as you like. Scatter over the basil and serve with some crusty bread to mop up the juices.

RATATOUILLE WITH POACHED EGGS AND GARLIC CROUTONS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Melt the butter in small pot over low heat, then add the 2 cloves of chopped garlic. Let the garlic bubble 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.
