Ratatouille with Poached Egg

As you might recall I love and adore eggs in a main. See here and here. They are so comforting. I don't often venture into French cooking. The amount of butter used freaks me out. I prefer to keep savoury dishes as healthy as possible and get my fat from desserts and keeping my sweet tooth satisfied. However, this dish is of course one of your healthy French dishes. The addition of the egg just brings it to another level of comfort.
