Ratatouille

This recipe isn't really Italian, but it's not really French either (real ratatouille doesn't have eggs and cheese I think...). And roasted vegetables + mozzarella cheese sounds pretty Italian, right?

The ingredients:
1 eggplant, peeled and chopped (I didn't have one so I used 2 zucchinis)
1 zucchini, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
2-3 tomatoes
1 onion, two garlic cloves, chopped
1 teaspoon salt, black pepper, 1 teaspoon oregano
2-3 tablespoons olive oil
A ball of mozzarella cheese (a small bag)
4 eggs

The recipe:
Mix all ingredients together, except for the cheese and eggs, in a greased baking dish.
Roast in oven for 20-30 minutes. Add another tablespoon or two of oil and mix. Make four holes and carefully place eggs in holes. Cut up the mozzarella cheese and place it on top of the vegetables.
Put in oven for another ten minutes. The eggs should be done.
Serve with bread. Or don't. And enjoy!
Substitution ideas:
Use any other vegetables or colors of bell peppers. Add tomato sauce. Add more spices. Add fresh herbs.
