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.

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.

• 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.

• 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.
