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.

Cooking
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.
