French dinner
Sunday Ratatouille Bake with Goat's Cheese
There is something deeply comforting about watching a medley of sunny Mediterranean vegetables melt down into pure sweetness. This easy ratatouille bake recipe takes all the vibrant charm of classic Provençal cooking and simplifies it into a hands-off oven dish. Aubergine, courgettes, and sweet peppers roast slowly in olive oil and fragrant herbes de Provence before meeting rich tomatoes and soft, tangy goat's cheese. Finished with fresh basil, it is a gloriously colourful, flavour-packed supper designed for effortless evenings, whether scooped straight from the dish or served alongside warm crusty bread.
