This recipe was inspired by the Ratatouille movie and the sliced ratatouille that was served. But grilled on a bbq. With some cheese. And we all know how cheese makes everything better. I like the strong taste of blue cheese, but if blue cheese is a bit too much, I can see a creamy feta working quite well.
I also found a deep dish pie shell works perfectly as its the perfect depth for the veggies and just needs to be gently folded over before cooking. Feel free to use your own dough recipe if desired.
