Grilled Ratatouille Tartines are a vibrant, flavorful dish featuring a medley of charred vegetables served on toasted bread with creamy goat cheese or hummus. Perfect as a light lunch or appetizer, this recipe combines smoky grilled zucchini, eggplant, bell pepper, and scallions with fresh cherry tomatoes, herbs, and a tangy sherry vinegar dressing.

Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 1 zucchini, sliced in half lengthwise
  • 1 medium eggplant, sliced into ¼-inch thick rounds
  • 1 red bell pepper, halved, ribs and seeds removed
  • 3 whole scallions
  • 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
  • 1 garlic clove, minced

Seasonings and Garnish

  • Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon sherry vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon herbs de Provence
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh basil

To Serve

  • 8 slices of good bread, toasted
  • Hummus or goat cheese, as desired for spreading

Instructions

  1. Prep the Grill: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat until hot and ready for cooking, ensuring a proper char on the vegetables.
  2. Grill the Vegetables: Drizzle the zucchini, eggplant, red bell pepper, and scallions with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt. Place on the grill and cook for about 3 minutes per side, until they develop a nice char and are tender.
  3. Chop the Grilled Vegetables: Remove the vegetables from the grill and allow them to cool slightly. Chop everything into approximately 1-inch pieces to prepare for mixing.
  4. Combine with Fresh Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, toss the chopped grilled vegetables with halved cherry tomatoes, minced garlic, sherry vinegar, herbs de Provence, and chopped fresh basil. Stir well to combine and season with additional salt if needed.
  5. Assemble the Tartines: Spread your choice of hummus or goat cheese onto the toasted bread slices. Top each slice generously with the grilled vegetable mixture, then serve immediately for a warm, flavorful bite.

Notes

  • For a smoky flavor, use a charcoal grill or add wood chips to a gas grill.
  • You can substitute goat cheese with ricotta or cream cheese if preferred.
  • These tartines can be served warm or at room temperature, making them perfect for outdoor dining or picnics.
  • To make this dish vegan, use hummus or a plant-based cheese in place of goat cheese.
  • Leftover grilled vegetables can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and used in salads or sandwiches.
