Description

These Ratatouille French Bread Pizzas offer a delightful twist on traditional pizza night, combining the rustic charm of French bread with the rich, layered flavors of classic ratatouille. The topping features a slow-simmered medley of eggplant, zucchini, bell peppers, onions, and garlic, infused with bright capers and fresh basil. Topped with generous amounts of provolone or mozzarella cheese and broiled until bubbly and golden, each bite delivers a perfect balance of tender vegetables and creamy, melty cheese. This dish is incredibly versatile, making it an excellent choice for a quick weeknight dinner, a light vegetarian meal, or a sophisticated appetizer for parties.

Directions

  1. Heat olive oil in a heavy large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add chopped onion and cook until beginning to soften, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add eggplant cubes, zucchini, red bell pepper, garlic, and salt.
  4. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
  5. Reduce heat, cover the skillet, and simmer until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes.
  6. Add diced tomatoes, capers, and freshly ground pepper to the vegetables.
  7. Simmer uncovered until most of the liquid evaporates and the mixture thickens, stirring frequently, about 15 minutes.
  8. Stir in chopped fresh basil and adjust seasonings to taste.
  9. Arrange bread slices on baking sheets.
  10. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of ratatouille onto each bread slice.
  11. Top each slice with grated provolone or mozzarella cheese.
  12. Preheat broiler.
  13. Broil pizzas about 5 inches from the heat source until cheese melts and bubbles.
  14. Transfer to a platter and serve immediately.
