Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.

6. Crack each egg into a small cup or bowl. Gently slide the eggs one by one into the simmering water.
7. Poach the eggs for about 3-4 minutes for soft yolks or longer for firmer yolks.
8. Spoon the ratatouille onto plates or into bowls.
9. Use a slotted spoon to remove the eggs from the water and carefully place a poached egg on top of each serving of ratatouille.
