We love Ratatouille, This is delicious, I could really Pig out on this. I did omit some of the peppers, Used a small can of diced tomatoes with a little of the juice, (Would use fresh if they were riper than the ones at the store) and cut the recipe down to half for the 2 of us. I used Parmesan Cheese and Romano and a little Mozzarella cheese in the topping with the basil, also put some basil in with the veggies. This made a great meal with some french bread and a side salad. Thank you Julie.

I have made this numerous times over the last few years and absolutely love it. Found the directions a little confusing as to the eggplant, onion mixture but it really didn't matter as far as the end product. Have done it with both fresh tomatoes and fire rstd canned either way is fantastic. I too omit some of the pepper, and mix parm/Romano cheese.
