An emblematic summer dish, Ratatouille Niçoise is even better when reheated. If you have leftovers of this dish, don't hesitate to reuse them to create other recipes, cold or hot. We suggest you discover a recipe that children love: eggs casserole with ratatouille.
Here are the ingredients needed to make ratatouille Eggs casserole for 4 people:
about 500 g of ratatouille
4 large eggs, extra fresh
4 tablespoons of light cream
salt and pepper
a few sprigs of fresh basil for decoration
To note: if you don't have any leftovers on hand to make this anti-gaspi recipe, you can make a small ratatouille express with one bell bell pepper, one small eggplant and two small zucchinis, following our ratatouille recipe.
Casseroles have only advantages because they are extremely simple to prepare with common ingredients.
They are also a very practical recipe to avoid food waste as they allow you to recycle all kinds of vegetable casseroles, based on broccoli, potatoes or mushrooms for example...
In the summer, I love making them with zucchini from the garden, homemade ratatouille or even a simple tomato basil concasse.

There are several methods of cooking eggs casserole, in a double boiler, in a traditional oven and even in a microwave!
However, if you have a steamer, I recommend using it for this recipe.
1- Place the ramekins in the basket of your steamer.
2- Cook the Eggs casserole with ratatouille for exactly 10 minutes.

To note: it's normal for the egg to get a white film on it when it's cooked, but don't worry, the yolk will stay soft inside.
3- Decorate each ramekin with a few fresh basil leaves.
