Ratatouille Egg Bake

Ratatouille Egg Bake, my take on an  Eating Well recipe is a simple but scrumptious meal based on the classic French eggplant dish. Ratatouille Egg Bake involves roasting fresh eggplant, tomatoes, zucchini, and Brussels sprouts, then finishing it all off with a baked egg and a sprinkle of cheese. The gooey and delicious egg topping pairs perfectly with the crispy vegetables to create one magnificent meal that’s perfect for utilizing the fresh vegetables of the season. Furthermore, the entire meal can be made in the oven on one baking sheet!
