1. Video tutorial: Poaching an egg

1. Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Add the onion, pepper, garlic and rosemary, then cook for 5 mins, stirring frequently, until the onion has softened. Add the aubergine and courgettes, then cook for 2 mins more.
2. Add the tomatoes, then fill the can with water, swirl it around and tip into the pan. Bring to the boil, cover, then simmer for 40 mins, uncovering after 20 mins, until reduced and pulpy.
3. Stir the vinegar into the ratatouille, then make 4 spaces for the eggs. Crack an egg into each hole and season with black pepper. Cover, then cook for 2-5 mins until set as softly or firmly as you like. Scatter over the basil and serve with some crusty bread to mop up the juices.

Get ahead

Cook until the end of step 2, then gently reheat and crack in the eggs.

  Loads of flavour - I'd make this one again. I wasn't sure about the eggs at first, but they are a really nice addition!

  Quick and easy to make, lovely variety of flavours. Good bread for mopping up is a must, I added more eggs, they really go well together.

  This is really tasty. I made it for two and cut the veg down just a little (big eaters!) and we had two eggs each. Served with really nice bread - yummy!

  this was a really lovely ratatouille and the eggs were a great addition. as i made it for just two of us i meant to halve the recipe but in reality just missed out one of the courgettes and two of the eggs... i think that next time an extra egg apiece wouldn't go amiss! warm crusty bread is essential.

  I thought this was absolutely delicious though it would've been even better if I'd managed to have the egg yolks soft. I would definitely cook this again (and again!!)

  We thought this dish was alright. Simple to make and obviously very healthy, not very exiting though. Something simple for weekdays. We also had two eggs per person, one is not enough if this is the only course.

  This was lovely and simple. I didn't include the balsamic ving though. Served with flatbreads and fried potatoes.
