2 slices Thick Cut, Best Quality Bacon
2 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Divided
1 clove Garlic, Crushed
1 whole Zucchini Or Similar Squash Such As Mediterranean Or Gold Bar, Cubed
6 whole Small Tender Okra, Sliced Thick
2 whole Large, Ripe, Heirloom Tomatoes, Quartered
2 teaspoons Sherry Vinegar
4 leaves Purple Basil, Sliced Thin, Plus More For Garnish
2 sprigs Thyme, Stripped
4 whole Eggs
1/2 cups Parmesan Cheese Savings
4 slices French Bread, Toasted For Dipping

1
In a medium skillet over medium high heat, cook bacon; drain on paper towels. Once cooled, loosely chop. To the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil and saute garlic over medium heat, until fragrant and translucent. Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the eggplant. Once eggplant starts to soften, add zucchini or squash, then okra. Saute vegetables for a few minutes, stirring occasionally.
2
Once the vegetables are cooked but still tender, add bacon, tomatoes, sherry vinegar, basil and thyme. Turn heat up to let tomatoes melt and form a thin sauce. Cook for a few minutes until sauce has reduced a bit. Set ratatouille aside.
3
Fry eggs, preferably over easy and in some bacon fat or butter. Divide ratatouille between large plates. Top each with the fried egg and garnish with Parmesan shavings and fresh basil. Serve with sliced French bread.
