apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

This sounds fantastic!!

Great dish. Eggs are tres chic right now. This would be a great opportunity to splurge on the very best eggs you can get at the farmers market or gourmet market.

I can't vote on it. Says thumbs up is closed for this entry.

I like this recipe. I feel like most things are either a) basic staples, b) preserve well, or c) can be removed or swapped out for whatever you have in the fridge.

a) eggs
b) capers; salt/pepper
c) the cheese; veggies

Recipes like these are a fantastic add to a busy person's quick weeknight meal!

we're trying (a variation of) this tonight! like juice said - it's got ingredients that i've usually have on hand and looks pretty fast. thanks, dara! :)

I know this is veg but I imagine it with a little prosciutto...

Total thumbs up. Not least because it's a great template recipe. You don't have something, you use something else. So it's an all-year go-to. This would be just as good with spinach instead of squash, for instance. Or gruyere and shallots instead of the mozz. Chives or parsley can sub the basil. Thanks, Dara!

Is anyone else having problems upvoting this?

update - made this last night (w/ a few modifications for what we already had in the fridge) and it was delicious. really liked the addition of the capers. will definitely go into our rotation of "go to" dinner templates.

Thanks to all of you for your positive comments! This really is such a versatile recipe. Use whatever ingredients appeal to you and are convenient for you. It's perfect for those nights when you stand in front of the fridge, staring inside, hoping for inspiration to hit (I have far too many of those nights). Gretchenalexis, I'm so glad that you tried this and enjoyed it!

I made this last night and loved it! With some slight mods as well but overall, it's a keeper! Can't wait for leftovers today :)

if i don't have individual sized ramekins, what can you recommend using? pie dish? thanks :)

Special, I suggest using a larger casserole dish (e.g., 2-quart), which would have a little more depth than a pie dish. This would work very well, particularly when feeding several people.

I love this idea!

thanks for the tip, cookincanuck. i used an 8x8 glass pan. just had to cook it about twice as long. it worked very well with eggplant, tomatoes and peppers. it was difficult to serve though, kinda flopped all over the place! i'll keep an eye out for ramekins at Goodwill.

Special, if you have a TJMaxx near you, they usually have great deals on ramekins.

Making this today :)
