Method
- Heat oven to 200ºC (400ºF, gas mark 6).
- Cut the aubergine and courgette into 5mm slices and the peppers into thick wedges.
- Mix the oil with the pesto and garlic.
- Heat a large pan and brush the vegetables lightly with the oil mixture and cook on both sides until they start to soften.
- Whiz the bread with the herbs in a food processor. Season well.
- In a ceramic quiche (26cm) or casserole dish (approx 26cm x 22cm) sprinkle a layer of half the breadcrumbs on the base. Then arrange the aubergine and courgettes in overlapping circles or rows, leaving room to place the peppers in the centre.
- Add the cheese to the remaining breadcrumb mixture and scatter over the top of the tian. Bake in the oven for 20 mins until crisp.
- Season to taste and serve at room temperature, with a salad.
