Ratatouille is a French Provençal stewed vegetable dish, originating in Nice, and sometimes referred to as ratatouille niçoise.
This take on the classic French stew uses some great low-carb vegetables! I do like the mix of aubergine (eggplant), courgettes (zucchini), tomatoes and bell pepper. Extra yummy, and nutritious, with the added eggs on top! It can make a reasonably priced meal, which the whole family could also eat and enjoy ...

I love ratatouille Jan, next time I make it I will pop a couple of eggs in to poach ✨
I make it sometimes with or without eggs . It is very tasty.
Have never eaten this, but I will definitely try your recipe. It looks delicious and healthy.
I think I will try this, yum!
I've always wanted to make ratatouille ever since I took my grandchildren to see the movie of that name:) I'll have to save this recipe for next summer when I am over-run with fresh vegetables again. For awhile this summer we were eating zucchini in every form imaginable:)
OH WOW! This sounds PERFECT. I'm saving this recipe to use next weekend, since I'll need to buy a few things this week to make it. Thank you, Jan.
i have had this on a crust, but the pan makes a good one it appears
This looks lovely. I like ratatouille but I've never made it with eggs.
I imagine that would be quite filling.
I've heard of this, but wasn't familiar with what was in it.
Thanks, Jan!
Another great recipe! I've never eating ratatouille...hmmm, what have I been missing?! Have a great one!
Beautiful photo, and the recipe, pure genius.

Only this weekend we were talking about a lasagne I used to make which had tinned ratatouille in it and the sauce was made from cheese and yogurt. Another one my son would eat the plate clean on and now he would run a mile at all that veg!
